This is why our fishing seasons have been so heavily impacted. It’s a huge loss for coastal communities, both from an economic standpoint and from a cultural standpoint, especially for Tribes in our region. It’s extremely sad. I was in a conversation with an elder Alaskan Native who said that her Tribe doesn’t expect to be able to fish their traditional waters this year or possibly ever again.

Super sucks…. How have we gone this far past the tipping point without action?!?!!!!!

There’s a lot of action being taken, though I completely get how it doesn’t look like it. There’s a huge focus on habitat and population conservation, for example, but really, this is tied to the larger efforts we collectively make. If we want to save our oceans, we have to stabilize our planet or at least mitigate the damage. Preaching to the choir, I know.

Plain language summary:
The study found that Arctic warming is contributing to increases in the number of marine heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific over the past few decades. This is due to changes in the atmospheric circulation pattern over the Northeast Pacific, which are reducing the amount of low-level clouds and increasing the amount of solar radiation and reduced latent heat loss. This has resulted in an increase in sea surface temperatures and marine heatwave days. The study suggests that the effects of Arctic warming on marine heatwaves should be taken into account when making climate change adaptation and mitigation plans.
