El Niño Warms Monterey Bay, Straining Ocean Life
Original: El Niño Is Warming Monterey Bay, Causing Trouble for Ocean Life
El Niño conditions are warming the waters of Monterey Bay, California, disrupting the marine ecosystem. Scientists say warmer water pushes away nutrient-rich upwelling that normally feeds the bay's rich food web, affecting krill, anchovies, seabirds and marine mammals such as sea lions and whales. Researchers are monitoring how species shift their ranges and what the changes mean for the local ecosystem through the rest of the El Niño event.
Why now: El Niño is an active climate event and its visible effects on a famous marine ecosystem draw scientific and public attention.
