Black sea bass commercial landings across the East Coast

Hover over the line to see the amount (in pounds) of the commercial landings for black sea bass for each state on the East Coast. Experts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say warming on the Atlantic Ocean in the past 10 to 15 years has been unprecedented and black sea bass have been not only abundant but expanding their range north. Further studies are determining what impact those changes could have.
