North Pacific whales die as heat wave hits oceans
Marine biologists report thousands of humpback whales starved in the North Pacific from 2012 to 2021 during a severe marine heat wave known as the blob. The warmer water reduced food, causing about 20 percent of the population to perish, with declines also seen in tufted puffins, sea lions, and seals. Ted Cheeseman of Southern Cross University notes the whales as ocean health indicators.
