  • Summary

  • For years, fishermen in Alaska have worried that climate change would threaten their livelihoods. Now, it has.

Fishermen started to notice a drastic drop in the population of cod- an unassuming fish that’s been an economic powerhouse for the community of Kodiak. As fishermen struggle to adjust to the lowest cod numbers on record, scientists are asking if it’s a preview of what’s to come as the ocean warms.
