The Gulf of Maine is warming up, and subsequently the ecosystems it supports are changing. This could mean big trouble for the coastal communities in Maine that rely heavily on the fishing industries to support their local economies. There is no doubt that the Gulf will continue to warm, but with some hard work and most importantly, adaptability, we may be able to survive the current environmental threat. The fight against climate change and warming waters in the Gulf of Maine is not a lost cause. We should be able to persevere through the crisis, at least as it is now and how it is projected to be, if we limit our environmental impact moving forward. ~ Wyatt Kern, Falmouth, a recent graduate of Waynflete School
