Marine Heat Wave Kills Half of Alaska's Common Murre Population
A 2014-2016 marine heat wave in the North Pacific Ocean, known as 'the blob', killed approximately 4 million common murres in Alaska—half of the population—due to food scarcity caused by the disrupted marine ecosystem. The event severely impacted Alaskan Native communities reliant on the species and...
