New England ocean warming slows but temperatures remain high

The Gulf of Maine's waters were warm in 2024, with an annual sea surface temperature of 51.5 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute.
Temperature averages in the Gulf of Maine have been rising at a rate of 0.84 degrees Fahrenheit per decade from 1982 to 2024, as indicated by the report.
Factors such as the strengthening of the Gulf Stream and the weakening Labrador Current have contributed to the rapid warming of the Gulf of Maine, as noted by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute.
Although the Gulf of Maine was still warm, it did not heat up as quickly as in previous years, according to scientists who study the Atlantic Ocean near Maine.
