local supply of oysters will be gone, as those fishery operations close shop.
While the
local nature of ABCs around polluted cities has been known since the early 1900s, the widespread transoceanic and transcontinental nature of ABCs as well as their large - scale effects on

Ocean.

Further affirmation of the reality of the warming is its spatial distribution, which has largest values at locations remote from any

ocean).
