Northeast Pacific heat waveCNN

76% Informative
A marine heat wave has killed approximately half of Alaska ’s common murre population.
This is the largest recorded die-off of a single species in modern history.
The Northeast Pacific heat wave, known as “the Blob ,” spanned the ocean ecosystem from California to the Gulf of Alaska in late 2014 to 2016 .
Rising temperatures are the primary factor affecting animals like murres.
Microplastics , ocean acidification, sea levels rising and chronic oil spills are other factors.
Scientists are still uncertain about how these animals will continue to be impacted in the future.
However, studies tracking the long-term effects of climate events on marine life are limited.
