Abstract
⺠We examine the distribution of shipworms in estuaries due to global warming. ⺠Decreasing precipitation in summer and fall decreases river discharge. ⺠Lower river discharge extends the salinity gradient. ⺠Longer salinity gradient extends the distribution of shipworms stream upwards. ⺠Distribution extension increases the risk of damage of wooden structures.
