Tracking farm-level marine heatwave exposure across Scotland's aquaculture sites

Scotland's aquaculture sector now has a clearer, empirical picture of the climate hazard it faces. Analysing 35 years of satellite data across 361 active finfish and shellfish farms reveals two distinct marine heatwave exposure profiles, with the more vulnerable cluster experiencing a near-tripling in cumulative intensity since 2020. This is not a uniform threat, it is spatially uneven and accelerating at different rates. Understanding drives protection, and these findings provide the measurable foundation for targeted monitoring.
