Cape Cod’s ocean is not standing still. Powerful shifts in the Gulf Stream and the atmospheric Jet Stream are rapidly reshaping the waters just offshore - altering temperatures, currents, and the very makeup of the continental shelf and slope. These changes are already affecting marine life, commercial fishing, and how we manage and protect our coastal waters.Join Glen Gawarkiewicz, Senior Scientist in Physical Oceanography at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution , for a clear, compelling look at what’s happening beneath the surface. Blending cutting-edge science with real-world impacts, Glen will explore how ocean fronts move, why the sea around Cape Cod is changing so quickly, and what those changes mean for fishermen, ecosystems, and the future of the region.
