Iceland's warming seas signal a measurable shift in temperate marine species distribution

Iceland's warming seas are no longer a matter of subtle trend lines; they are a measurable shift in where temperate marine species now appear. That reality opens a compelling new field: the ecology of tropical species in subarctic waters. This is not speculation, but empirical observation demanding integrated study. Citizen science strengthens this work, as our related piece on tidepool sculpin observations in Maine demonstrates. Understanding these distribution changes drives protection.
