The warming of Earth’s oceans due to climate change is affecting where the world’s fish live, eat and spawn — and often in ways that can negatively affect their populations.

The most affected populations are those living on the north poleward edges of their species’ range. “There is a common wisdom among many climate change biologists that species that rapidly shift their ranges by moving northward must provide a mechanism…

You and your family may be used to the whole grab-breakfast, get-out-the-door morning rush, but your pup may still be struggling to catch up. As much as our dogs love to do the same thing every day, returning to fall schedules, particularly a big change like back to school, can be overwhelming…

I’ve been fishing the Indian River Inlet for a long time, but fishing it in 2024 will be completely different than any other year. The US Army Corps of Engineers has awarded contracts to repair jetties on the north and south sides of the inlet, restricting the areas where we can fish. The biggest hit will be on the north side where the large parking area west of the inlet bridge will be closed, along with the restrooms. This will not only affect us fishermen, but also the large number of surfers who use this area to access the beach…
