A species commonly referred to as “red tide” has been spotted around B.C. coastal waters over the past month.

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. 

If you're wondering why British Columbia experienced such a mild winter and early spring, you could maybe blame it on a mysterious "blob" of warm water in the Pacific Ocean.

The blob is the popular name for a huge patch of warm water that has reached above normal temperatures in the Pacific Ocean.

A meteorologist says unseasonably warm weather in B.C. is once again causing a large area of the Pacific Ocean to heat up considerably, emulating a phenomenon from past years known as the “blob.”

Warm water threatens marine habitats off the coast of BC

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

Reports that the sea star population was rebounding appear to have been overly optimistic, says the Coastal Ocean Research Institute.

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.

Sockeye salmon runs across Alaska were dismal this year. But no one is certain why.

Fish populations are declining as oceans warm, putting a key source of food and income at risk for millions of people, according to new research.

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.

Federal fisheries experts paint devastating picture of the challenges facing Pacific salmon and point to climate change as the main culprit.
