Malin Pinsky Leads Study that Says ‘Climate Change Means Fish Are Moving Faster Than Fishing Rules’
Researchers say out-of-date regulatory system hasn’t kept up with the realities of global warming and shifting fish populations. Climate change is forcing fish species to shift their habitats faster than the world’s system for allocating fish stocks, exacerbating international fisheries conflicts, according to a study led by a Rutgers University–New Brunswick researcher. The study, published online in the journal Science, showed […]
