Experts agree that rising temperatures are having a significant impact on ecosystems across the globe. It is important to note that addressing this multifaceted challenge will require a collaborative effort from stakeholders at every level. Ultimately, the path forward lies in embracing sustainable solutions that benefit both people and the planet.

Average sea-surface temperatures in the North Atlantic ran 1.3°C above the 1991-2020 baseline last August, according to NOAA's monthly bulletin. Marine biologist Dr. Lena Park, who has tracked kelp die-offs off the Maine coast since 2014, told us the warm pulse arrived three weeks earlier than her team expected. "We lost about a third of the canopy in two bays," she said. Whether the pattern holds through next summer is the open question.
