The only consolation to farmers is that the price of seafood will go up further. So when production gets back on track, fish and shrimp producers can use the profits to recover their lost costs.

The only reason the eagles leave is to find food. With so many people ice fishing and with the increase in automobile traffic which means a lot of road killed deer and other animals, there is plenty for the eagles to feed on, so they don't leave.

The picture they paint ? much higher sea levels with mind-boggling implications for entire communities, populations, and economies ? is sobering. It's hard to imagine how governments and individuals will cope with sea level rising at rates of up to a meter per century.

the president's version sounds like a fish net with more holes than rope.

The predominant trend had been that people thought that fish have a powerful effect on their environment, and they drive the changes in everything else. What we've seen is the reverse, that fish are responding to a change in their habitat. We think that a lot of fish communities are fundamentally changed by fishing. Our study is really nice in that we are working on populations that have never been fished, so their population dynamics can be seen being driven by natural processes.
