New Research Alert: Protecting Spiny Lobsters in a Warming Ocean.

As the ocean temperature continues to rise, it's crucial to understand the impact it has on the species that call it home. In our latest article, "Spiny Lobster Survival in a Warming Ocean: The Role of Temperature in Altering Lobster Metabolism and Predation," we delve into the relationship between temperature and the survival of spiny lobsters.
