Climate change is causing significant impacts on fishing communities and the seafood industry in the U.S., as highlighted by two massive storms in the northeastern U.S. in January 2024 that resulted in substantial damage. The southern coast, including Maine and New England, is experiencing negative effects, such as species shifts, while Alaska is grappling with more complex fisheries management due to stock shifts. The sudden extreme events are causing devastating impacts on some fisheries, like Alaska's crab population, while others, such as the sablefish and sockeye salmon fisheries, are seeing positive changes. NOAA Fisheries is working to predict the effects of climate change and develop new management strategies to ensure the sustainability of commercial fisheries as temperatures and currents change, leading to altered fish distributions and the need for increased scientific research.

The impacts of climate change are already being felt in fishing communities across the U.S. – to sometimes devastating results. In January 2024, two massive storms in the northeastern U.S. region of New England sunk vessels, damaged docks, and flooded coastal communities. Janet Mills, the governor of the U.S. state of Maine, claimed in a request for federal aid in the wake of the storms that the weather caused USD 70.3 million (EUR 64.3 million) in public infrastructure damage in the state of Maine alone.The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden ultimately approved disaster declarations for multiple states in New England and awarded funding to help repair the damage – but the incident served as an example of how climate change can negatively impact the seafood industry. A few months after the storms, at Seafood Expo North America (SENA), which took place in March in Boston, Massachusetts – one of the states impacted – officials with NOAA Fisheries highlighted the impacts as a ...
