Swordfish washes up on British Columbia coast, raising ocean questions
Original: What a swordfish washing up on British Columbia’s coast says about our changing oceans

Experts suggest the rare appearance of a typically warmer-water species may signal changing sea temperatures and marine ecosystems along the Pacific coast of Canada.
Why now: Rare sightings of warm-water species far outside their usual range are being read as a visible sign of climate-driven ocean change.
