Scientists have announced that temperatures at 200 feet off Monterey Bay have reached their highest levels in nearly forty years. This rise is attributed to the forthcoming 2026-27 El Niño, with sightings of tropical species migrating northward, suggesting significant ecological transformations. These shifts in ocean conditions pose a risk to deep-sea food availability, impacting various marine ecosystems.
