A researcher says it has become increasingly common along the British Columbia coastline to see tropical species moving into colder waters as they seek refuge from warming oceans. The observation points to shifting marine migration patterns along the Pacific coast, with warm-water animals appearing further north than usual as ocean temperatures rise off Canada's west coast.

Why now: Warming oceans are pushing tropical marine species into British Columbia's colder coastal waters, highlighting visible effects of climate change.
