'50 tonnes per day': Fishermen report a big jump in Octopus population along English Channel indicating a stress in deep ocean
Unusually warm sea temperatures in the North Atlantic have triggered a surge in octopus catches along the English Channel, benefiting fishermen in the short term. However, this boom is disrupting the marine ecosystem, threatening shellfish populations and impacting species like cod and plankton. Scientists warn of potential long-term damage, including algae blooms and risks to marine biodiversity.
