Warming water causes marine life to swim northward
- "[A]long the coasts, marine species are shifting northward or to deeper waters, and as smaller prey species relocate, predator species may follow. The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)... has published this marine species distribution indicator using NOAA data. The graphs show the annual change in latitude and depth of 140 marine species along the northeastern U.S. coast and in the eastern Bering Sea. Changes in geographic distribution have been aggregated across all 140 species." - Excerpt from NOAA Climate
