Mackerel migration due to climate change

Once again, despite any skeptical claims that nothing (or nothing significant) is happening, the rhythms and ways of nature say otherwise. Now, here's the Atlantic mackerel:

Atlantic Mackerel can't stand heat in our waters

"Using catch data and ocean sampling going back to 1968, the fisheries scientists say that Atlantic mackerel’s winter distribution has shifted 155 miles to the north and 30 miles to the east. The fish have also shifted to a larger area on the continental shelf."

Phenology beats the skeptics yet again.
