Sea surface temps highest in 150 years.

Seems things are heating up. Recent record was in 1951, a couple of years before hurricane Carol.

Fish are confused...Fishermen don't care...want permission to fish til the fish are gone.

Unusual to be sure, but, TBH, the 57.2*F reading is likely a bit anomalous..... AverageJoe90 May 2013 #1

Meaning it's likely at least mostly a more natural variation than anything else, because it has happened a few times before(however, this does not, by any means, invalidate concerns that such temperature readings may be becoming a bit more common over the years).

Thanks for the post.
