Cod, Salmon, Trout , Mackerel and other fish and crustacean products are pictured for sale in a fishmonger’s shop in Killybegs, western Ireland on August 4, 2023.: When he finished school Daragh McGuinness knew he wanted to join a fishing crew but now, at 23, he fears climate change may kill off the industry that has sustained his family for generations.
The Atlantic Challenge, like many vessels sailing out of Killybegs, catches blue whiting and mackerel, which are highly prized on international markets, returning to port one or two days after a catch so produce is fresh. “If we continue with the warming of the waters, it is inevitable, the pelagic species will move totally out of the waters. And we could end up that we have very little fish,“ he said.
In June, the NOAA recorded what it characterised as a Category 4 or “extreme” marine heatwave off the coasts of Ireland and the United Kingdom. Nolan said he expected a specific study attributing the spike in temperatures in June and July to climate change in due course.The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , which assesses the science related to climate change, has attributed the intensity of marine heatwaves to global warming for decades, he noted.
For Irish fishing, the situation is a double whammy, as the industry has been hit by lost EU fishing quotas after Brexit, the UK's departure from the bloc at the end of 2020.
