It is a story about the Gulf of Maine, a sea within the sea, a body of water that is warming 97% faster than the global ocean. What happens here to the animals in the water, to the jobs that are dependent upon it and to the millions of people living along its shores is likely to happen worldwide. We are at a crossroads for the future of the Gulf and all our oceans. Does it retain enough of its biodiversity and regenerative strength to weather the human-induced storm? Is the sheer beauty of this place and spectacular range of its creatures enough to wake us to what is at stake?
