An interesting and recent news article on marine life off the east coast of Canada and the impacts of bottom trawling can be found here.
See the oranges and reds; these mean higher Sea surface temperatures (SST). Now look at Atlantic Canada. The water is warmer than usual, by about 3 to 4 degrees. Let's hope that no storms develop anytime in the near future; those temps. are a bad ingredient for hurricanes.
