Fisheries contribute more than $240 billion in economic activity in the United States every year. They support 1.7 million jobs and robust coastal economies, while providing 9.3 billion pounds of seafood for consumers. But these fisheries are at risk due to climate change. Rising temperatures have shifted weather patterns, ocean currents, and even where fish live. They also affect the communities that rely on these fish for their livelihoods.
