"Changing Climate, Changing Fishes"
Sponsored by Salem Sound Coastwatch and
Marblehead's Abbot Public Library
In the 1700’s Salem Sound was filled with Cod, but now—not so much. In the mid 1900’s Salem Sound was filled with winter flounder, but now—not so much. What fish are swimming in our local coastal waters now? This question will be addressed by Dr. Michael Armstrong, Assistant Director of the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. In this illustrated talk, Dr. Armstrong will share his knowledge of changing fish populations and how changing water temperatures have added another factor that is determining the mix of local fish species.
