Scientists tell fisheries committee Prince William Sound has warmed and surface productivity fallen about a third Dr. Rob Campbell of the Prince William Sound Science Center told the Alaska Legislature’s Special Committee on Fisheries that a 50‑year temperature record and satellite data show long‑term warming and roughly a one‑third decline in surface productivity, and he described ecosystem impacts including recruitment failures and large seabird and whale declines.

Prince William Sound is experiencing alarming warming trends and a shocking one-third drop in surface productivity, leading to dire consequences for marine life.
