The current marine heat wave covers a horseshoe-shaped area about the size of Alaska.
He said the baseline ocean temperatures are warming so fast that scientists are scrambling to keep up with measuring and classifying the events. “We’re seeing more intensity in the marine heat waves, higher high temperatures, and that would be more of a function of climate change,” said Andy Leising, a research scientist at NOAA Fisheries’ Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California. The halt to crab fishing cost the industry an estimated $100 million. Young salmon had less to eat as they entered the ocean, and thousands of sea lions and seal pups ended up stranded on California beaches.
The impacts rippled through ocean ecosystems, with mass die-offs of marine mammals and birds, the closure of crab and clam fisheries and warnings for sardine and anchovy fisheries because of poisoning concerns. The last time the region saw such a widespread and intense “warm blob,” in 2014-2015, the unusually warm ocean water boosted the growth of toxin-producing algae and suppressed the growth of small organisms at the base of the ocean food chain. West Coast, and it’s raising concerns about hurricane risks to the Hawaiian islands and wildfire risks in California.

Many had nausea, weakness, high fever," said Yekaterina Dyba, a geographer who runs the Snowave Kamchatka surfing school.ĭivers who examined the waters along the wide stretch of Kamchatka reported that 95 percent of seabed creatures have been found dead, including seals, octopi, starfish, and sea urchins. "For several weeks now, all surfers have experienced problems with their eyes after returning from the water. The marine pollution was first reported by local surfers, who suffered eye problems and apparent chemical burns after going in the waters in September.
