Sea turtles lay eggs on California shores for first time
Original: [Science News] For the very first time, sea # turtles have come to lay their eggs on the sandy shores of # California —
Scientists report that sea turtles have laid eggs on California beaches for the first time, far north of their usual tropical nesting grounds. Observers are debating whether the shift is driven by ongoing global warming or by the El Niño effect, which warms Pacific waters and can push marine species into new habitats.
Why now: An unprecedented nesting event far outside normal range raises questions about climate change and El Niño's impact on marine life.
