Every so often, we take the pulse of the economy by talking to some of the people in it.

Today, we're talking about fish.

The Gulf of Maine is the heart of a vibrant fishing industry, one that is being reshaped by climate change.

The Gulf of Maine is one of the fastest warming ocean regions in the world.

That has dragged down the shrimp population there so much that regulators banned catching them through at least 2028.

But nature and fishermen are adapting.

Graham Sherwood is a senior scientist at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, and it's here to talk about it.

Welcome.

Thank you.

So we're a decade into this moratorium on shrimping.

What does the fishing industry in Maine look like today?

What is lobster fishing like, given changing climate?

Do you think shrimp fishing will ever realistically return to Maine waters?

I mean, this moratorium goes until 2028 now.

Zooming out, looking kind of generally at the different species that we rely on commercially or can rely on commercially, which ones are doing better?

Which ones are doing worse as the climate changes?

Thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you.
