General Info

Over the last 40 years, Cape Cod Bay has felt the effects of climate change. The surface waters have warmed seven times faster than the rest of the ocean. In the summer, strong winds from the southwest have become less common while winds from the northeast have increased substantially. Together, the warming water and shifting wind pattern make the Bay more stratified, with surface water less likely to mix with colder, denser deep water.
