From California to Alaska, animals born during the infamous Blob are coming of age.

The "unprecedented" warm water in the Pacific caused a massive toxic algae bloom from California to Alaska.

Wildlife officials say populations of the silvery Pacific sardine have plummeted over the past decade.

The so-called 'warm blob' of water in the North Pacific has brought unusual plankton, which lack the nutrients wild salmon and other marine animals count on.

A new marine heat wave spreading across a portion of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of British Columbia resembles the infamous "blob" that disrupted marine life five years ago. 

In 2014, a warm water system — known as the Blob — wreaked havoc in the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The relationship between extreme weather events and climate change is complicated. But scientists are getting closer to figuring out how the two are linked.

The 'blob' caused it this time around. But oceans will keep getting warmer in the future.

Last year, 2014, was the hottest year ever recorded on Earth. Unlike other worldwide problems from which Canadians might feel relatively safe and isolated, but Canada is actually ground zero of global climate.

Warm water threatens marine habitats off the coast of BC

It already has caused coral bleaching in Hawaii and may be tied to strandings of marine mammals along the California coast.
