A Gulf

The Gulf of Maine is one area of the ocean that is heating up fast. The fishing industry there used to catch cod and other fish in the winter but, more lately as things warmed up, have largely made a good living from a thriving lobster and scallop collecting industry. It is now reported that, with declining lobsters, fishermen are being encouraged to diversify into activities such as kelp farming (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/may/19/im-not-a-quitter-lobstermen-turn-to-kelp-farming-in-the-face-of-global-crises). This fast growing seaweed has a number of commercial uses (even if they are not as tasty as lobsters) and its photosynthetic activity helps to limit the increase of 'greenhouse gases' in the atmosphere.
