Greenland's sea ice is melting. Fishermen worry what comes next

Greenland’s fishermen are struggling as warming weather from climate change makes the sea ice unreliable and the fish harder to predict. One fisherman near Nuuk says his trips now swing between big paydays and empty nets. Experts say sea ice started disappearing in the late 1990s. Fishing accounts for up to 95% of exports, and the territory's biggest employer warns the ice could disappear within decades. That shift threatens traditional and small communities. Scientists warn of overfishing as more fish might come to the more exposed and nutrient-rich waters. But others fear certain fish will leave for colder waters.
