Climate change in the North Sea: Long-term studies reveal drastic changes in the marine fauna

The Atlantic cod is drawn to cooler regions, while crustaceans from southern areas spread ever farther into the North Sea. The effects of the climate change can be clearly felt on the German sea coasts, as well.
