Our climate fiasco: Falls in whale sightings, rare seabirds appearing
"A huge, long-lasting and extreme marine heatwave stayed in place for many months. It became known as “the Blob”. Water temperatures were between 2°C and 6°C above normal. While this may not seem like a drastic change, it led to widespread ecosystem disruption. At least 240 species were found outside their normal ranges – some further north than ever recorded."
"It’s hard to overstate how extensive its effects were. Kelp forests disappeared. Millions of starfish dissolved into goo. Whales died. Seabirds starved. Toxic algal blooms appeared." >>

Ocean surface temperatures hit record high as world enters 'uncharted territory,' scientists warn
by Chantal Da Silva
July 1, 2026"Temperatures on the #ocean surface hit a record high in June, European scientists warned Wednesday, fueling fears of more dangerous heat waves this summer and fanning concerns over the escalating global #ClimateCrisis.
"Two separate services under the European Union’s #CopernicusEarth observation program — the Copernicus #ClimateChange Service and the Copernicus Marine Service — announced they had both independently confirmed the record temperatures.
"Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Copernicus Climate Change Service, warned that the rising temperatures could mark the 'beginning of a new phase.'
" 'With OceanTemperatures at these levels and #ElNiño on the horizon, we are likely to see more temperature records fall in the coming months,' Buontempo said in a statement Wednesday. El Niño is a naturally occurring climate cycle that sees the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become warmer than usual for months at a time.
"The world could be heading into 'uncharted territory,' Buontempo warned.
"According to Copernicus Climate Change Service and the Copernicus Marine Service, global ocean temperatures outside the polar regions hit record levels on June 21, surpassing levels for the time of the year observed in both 2023 and 2024.
"The Copernicus Climate Change Service said temperatures reached 20.86 degrees Celsius, or 69.54 degrees Fahrenheit, that day, climbing above the 20.83 degrees Celsius, or 69.49 degrees Fahrenheit observed in 2023 and 2024.
"The Copernicus Marine Service meanwhile recorded temperatures at 21 degrees Celsius, or 69.8 Fahrenheit, beating previous records from 2023 and 2024 by 0.1 degree Celsius.
" 'It’s consistent with what we’ve known for a long time — that the planet is warming because we’re emitting vast quantities of #GreenhouseGasses, primarily from #FossilFuel burning, into the atmosphere and that’s stifling the ability of the planet to lose its heat to space,' Richard Allan, a professor of climate science at the University of Reading in the U.K., said in a phone interview."

😢 A #MarineHeatWave caused seabird deaths off California. El Nino could worsen the die-off
‘We don’t know how bad this is going to get’
By JULIE WATSON
Updated 1:25 PM EDT, July 1, 2026SAN DIEGO (AP) — "Within minutes of walking on a #SanDiego beach, marine ornithologist Tammy Russell found the feathered carcasses — one after another.
Some were mixed in with washed up kelp. Others were under rocks."Each month, scientists and volunteers conduct surveys of dead #seabirds and find what Russell describes as a grim assessment of the impact of a massive marine HeatWave that has lingered for months off parts of the California coast.
"The surveys that have been carried out by various organizations for decades help build a baseline of information on beached sea life to detect threats and their impact.
"Many seabirds, including California #BrownPelicans, #loons and #grebes, starved to death in recent months as record-setting ocean temperatures decreased the band of cold, nutrient-rich surface water where #krill, #anchovies and #sardines thrive near the shore, said Russell, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
"We’ve been seeing #cormorants walk to shore and then just die within the hour. I mean one time it happened within 15 minutes, and I’ve never seen that before,” Russell said. 'That has been heartbreaking for me and we’re seeing this happening across the whole coast.'
"Scientists fear the die-off could worsen with the recently formed El Nino, the natural warming of parts of the central Pacific that alters weather worldwide and spikes global temperatures."

It’s official: El Nino has returned. Climate models project a 2-in-3 chance of a severe event by late 2026. With oceans already at record highs, marine heat waves are threatening global fisheries, coral reefs and deep-sea ecosystems.

California's oceans are breaking temperature records during a historic heat wave, with Scripps Pier recording 71°F in March—its warmest on record—breaking daily marks for days. A strong marine heat wave has developed off Southern California's coast, driven by an atmospheric ridge that weakened upwelling, allowing warm surface water to dominate instead of cold, nutrient-rich deep water rising. This pattern threatens ecological and meteorological impacts into summer, with experts monitoring whether conditions worsen or fade. These unprecedented ocean temperatures signal the intensifying effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.

11) Alaska's iconic crab fisheries were shut down after marine heatwaves wiped out an estimated 10 BILLION snow crabs in a single year. Warmer Bering Sea waters likely boosted crab metabolism beyond what food supplies could sustain, triggering one of the most dramatic fishery collapses in history and devastating coastal communities and a billion-dollar industry.

Is (Adelaide's) stormwater contributing to the toxic algal bloom?
"... Stormwater "had never been sexy" and, as long as it was flushed away, it did not get the attention nor the government investment it deserved."
"The EPA's Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS) summary of 2008 stated that nutrient loads had increased 30 to 50 times since European settlement, and recommended steps to reduce wastewater, stormwater and industrial inputs. The study found the loss of seagrass was "mainly due to stormwater flows" "

#Jellyfish Shut Four French #NuclearReactors as #HeatWave Builds
By Eamon Farhat
August 11, 2025"#Electricite de France SA [#EDF] was forced to shut four #AtomicReactors after a swarm of jellyfish clogged up filter drums at its #Gravelines power plant.
"The 'massive and unforeseen' [um, not if you read my posts -- very much FORESEEN] presence of jellyfish in the filter drums of pumping stations closed four out of six reactors at Gravelines on the north coast of France, EDF said in a statement on Monday. Pumping stations for coastal #NuclearPlants usually draw in sea water for cooling, sometimes exposing them to marine life.
"A #MarineHeatWave is intensifying off the west coast of France, with unusually warm waters in the English Channel near Gravelines, data from #Copernicus Marine Service show. Jellyfish populations can 'bloom' at such times, and France has closed several beaches in recent weeks due to invasions of the eight-legged molluscs, according reports compiled by the beach information app Meduseo."

"Climate change is an existential problem of planetary proportions."
"The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued a historic advisory opinion that could reshape the global legal landscape for climate action, declaring that States have binding duties under international law to protect the climate system and that a failure to take appropriate measures may constitute an internationally wrongful act."
"The ICJ also addressed the oceans, affirming that anthropogenic GHG emissions qualify as “pollution of the marine environment” under UNCLOS, triggering obligations for States to “take all measures… necessary to prevent, reduce and control pollution.”

Seawater temperatures in Portugal's Algarve reach record highs.
Portugal's southern Algarve region experienced a "marine heatwave", the country's Maritime Authority said on Tuesday, after collating the results recorded by a buoy placed in the sea near Faro's beaches between 28 June and 9 July.
Temperatures in the Algarve between June and July were on average 25.1°C.

This graphic shows the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomaly in the #Mediterranean Sea and surrounding regions for June 25, 2025, compared to the average SST during the 1982–2011 period.
This map is a clear indicator that Mediterranean waters are significantly warmer than the historical norm for late June, raising potential concerns for both environmental and human systems.
