California Put Up $1 Million to Watch the Coast Through El Niño. Nobody on the Mendocino Coast Asked for Any of It.

The last time the ocean off Northern California looked like this, a marine heat wave and an El Niño wiped out most of the North Coast’s bull kelp, and the state’s own staff report says this year closely matches that stretch from 2014 to 2016. The California...

Interested to see the effects of coming storms on Santa Cruz conditions

A source of endless fascination for most anglers is to watch the seasons change. This week while surfcasting from a midtown Santa Cruz beach, I noticed Steamer Lane’s Middle Peak was showing some impressive size to the sets. “Winter is here,” I smiled to myself. A quick delve into the local marine and weather forecasts confirmed that feeling, and in a big way.

California's warm waters are drawing rare sea creatures north

El Niño and a marine heat wave are bringing warmer ocean water temperatures off the coast of California and with them, in recent weeks, an oddity of sea creatures. From endangered turtles nesting on beaches to a whale shark swimming off San Diego, the coast of Southern California is seeing a wave of marine species not typically found in the region. And while they may be fascinating sights to behold, the warmer waters do more than just pave the way for unusual sea creature sightings; such conditions can also pose risks to the local ecosystem. "It's important to remember that a lot of our local species that we normally find in San Diego aren't quite adapted for these higher temperatures, so we're very closely monitoring those species and trying to figure out how the warm water will affect them and how the ecosystem may change over time as our oceans continue to warm," Zach Merson, a PhD student at the Simmons Lab at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography , said in a Facebook video.
