Cooling Waters in Atlantic Raise Questions About Long-Term Trends

- Recent surveys show cooling temperatures on the Scotian Shelf after a decade of warming.
- Scientists are uncertain if this marks a return to previous norms or is just short-term variability.
- Lindsay Beazley and Dave Hebert emphasize the need for more data to determine long-term trends.
- The cooling trend has already impacted local fisheries, with lobsters becoming harder to catch.
- Researchers will continue monitoring to see if colder, oxygen-rich water persists in the region.
