Shell Shocked on Long Island Sound... By Gregory B. Hladky, BGlobe,July 13, 2008. "Many lobstermen working Long Island Sound these days, fears that [their] way of life might be coming to an end... The same warming trend that seems to be hurrying the decline of lobsters and other cold-water species in sound could offer a strange sort of ecological compensation. Blue crabs, creatures that flourish in warmer waters, are booming." ... And on the Pacific Coast. By Kenneth R. Weiss, LATimes, July 13, 2008."Oyster 'seeds' are dying as Pacific Coast waters grow warmer. They're being killed by a bacteria, Vibrio tubiashii, that blooms in warmer waters and the oxygen-starved 'dead zones' that have appeared off the coast of Oregon and Washington."
