Studies the Effects of Climate Change on Seaweed and Kelp in Arctic Canada

On Tuesday, scientists finished a diving expedition in Cambridge Bay in the territory of Nunavut, in the far north of Canada. There, they had spent several weeks studying the effects of climate change on seaweed and kelp in Arctic waters, an area where there has been little research. That is reported by the Canadian broadcaster CBC.

"We know that the species composition will change and that Arctic kelp will have nowhere else to move when the waters gets too warm. Other kelp species, however, will move up from the south," said the research project's leader Amanda M. Savioe at the Canadian Museum of Nature to CBC during the expedition.
