ARTIST STATEMENT

The Pacific Ocean is warming. This reality spells trouble for many sea creatures, especially those living in frigid northern waters. Cod, pollock and northern shrimp—seafoods we enjoy eating—rely on very cold water to feed and to breed. The range where they thrive is shifting further and further northward. Soon they will run out of “north”—Arctic Cod already have.

MATERIALS
