Lobsters predict tipping point

Liette Vasseur a climate change scientist at Brock University, told the conference about the need to plan for seas with changing currents, more frequent storms, and higher tides — all that will demand more robust boats and bigger wharves and stronger break waters.
Vasseur's reseach shows water temperatures rising almost a decade earlier than expected.
"What to expect for the lobster? It may benefit at the beginning in terms of faster growth due to warmer temperatures," she said.
