This summer alone, ocean temperatures in Buzzard Bay have been about 70 degrees, which is 3.6 degrees above normal. Central Long Island Sound water temperatures have been 2.7 degrees above normal, reaching 71 degrees. These unusually warm water temperatures, according to scientists, could be the cause of the diminishing supply in the southern New England areas. Lobsters are very temperature dependent; there is a threshold below which if the water is too warm that would be beyond the range of the species, McCarron said. The thought from scientists is that these lobsters have actually shifted offshore into deeper waters where temperatures are more stable.
