Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Rising ocean temperatures will have a huge impact on life in the ocean, and on the communities that have an economic dependence on the fishing industry. It is important to understand the ocean’s changing environment and the serious repercussions these changes will bring to humanity, in order to prepare for the future. To help plan for this future, we have created a mathematical model that predicts where herring and mackerel, two types of fish located around Scotland, will relocate to over the next 50 years, and the impact these relocations will have on small Scottish fishing companies.
