Marine heat waves haven't had a lasting effect on fish populations along Canada’s Atlantic and Pacific coasts, says a study showing there is still a chance to act on climate change.

The study published Aug. 30 in the journal Nature looked at data from 1993 to 2019, which included 248 marine heat waves – described as prolonged periods of warm ocean temperatures.
