11/4 - Rhode Island Real World: ocean warming reduces fish populations?

This is a good article on the possible changes occurring in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island due to warming of the seas over the past 30 years. MAYBE. What is good about the article is how clearly it explains the difficulty of drawing conclusions. What's also nice is that it tells about how in recent times the populations of JELLYFISH have been increasing (just like our song, "Jellyfish and bacteria, that's what you get when the ocean is in-fear-eee-yah").

Hot times in Rhode Island.
