They have known for decades….we used to have Abalone, an abundance of fish and canneries….
I think it is terribly naive to blame this all on “climate”, without ever mentioning the innumerable pollutants we drench the coast with, not to mention the North Pacific Gyre emptying directly onto the area with it’s current of irradiated waters from Fukushima, which it passes directly by before heading east, directly towards the U.S. west coast.
This is the result of trashing the nature with coffee cups and beautiful clear plastic frapp cups everyday.
Tell yourself which day you didn't throw away a plastic container and plastic bag. Recycling plastic is a joke.
No one recycle them if they don't get money back. They just go to landfill.
A barista told me the recycle bin every night go mixed together with other trash while you see 3 different trash cans (composed, trash, recycle) sitting on the streets.
They are just decoration of city recycle ordinance.
Stop pushing climate change agenda.
If you can't move an inch, how can you move a foot.
They also blame climate change for all the arson fires in California. While they are at it blame the straw man climate change for inflation.
Sunflower Seastar was devastated by a pathogin, allowing the Purple Urchins to overpopulate. They greatly damaged the Kelp areas making it harder for the kelp to keep up. IT'S NOT GLOBAL WARMING! In the last 50 years, earth has barely warmed 1 degree!! Earth weather, plants, and species have been changing for 5 BILLION years. Canada was tropical at one point. Humanity will never be able to control the weather. It's just politicians pushing FEAR tactics to get power! John Kerry said in 1980 that the Maldives would be under water in 10 years from Global warming. Here we are over 40 years later, and sea levels have only risen less than an inch!! Politicians LIE to manipulate people to VOTE for them so they can change the world!! It's been that way since the beginning of politicians. If you fall for it, your a FOOL!!
You lying sacks!
🙄
Sounds like a hippie lol
Do you know that things change over time right.
This is nothing new. What is new is the collective of junk science and prevaricating written articles that have obtained a foot hold in conversational discourse. We have a lot of ignorant people in the USA that are comfortable in continuing along a path of such persuasion,.
Eat the urchin! Sushi 🍣 time
Climate change? Come on guys let's be real – This is also from agriculture runoff, pesticides, sewage waste water, and a myriad of other pollutants. Let's be responsible locally and focus on what's real and we can fix.
Not the nuclear waste?
GMO!get the weed growers to help they be smart
Those purple urchin KILL KILL KILL. Ask a marine science expert .better yet a commercial red sea urchin diver. There always down there. The best observers ever
great i hate that stuff touching my feet.
We need to save our ocean creatures
its almost like Fukushima never stopped leaking radioactive waste into the ocean or something….. who would have thought it would be a problem……..
Let’s eat urchin
I go in the water every year. To me it seems as if the water is much colder this year. I’m no longer able to get in the water beyond my knees now because of the cold.
