Original Sources for this Claim (2)
All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
For the first time in recorded history, a sea turtle has nested on the West Coast of the U.S., laying eggs near Seal Beach, California. Scientists view this as a significant sign of warming ocean waters, driven by a major El Niño event.
An enormous Kelvin wave, generated by El Niño, is expected to raise sea levels off Southern California by half a foot or more, increasing threats of coastal flooding and erosion. This comes as other factors, including warm Pacific waters and peak tidal cycles, also contribute to higher ocean levels.
