Starving Seabirds Signal Trouble Across the Pacific
Original: Across a Fevered Pacific Ocean, Seabirds Are Starving
Seabird populations across the Pacific Ocean are starving as unusually warm waters disrupt the marine food chain. Heat conditions reduce the availability of fish and other prey that birds rely on to feed themselves and their chicks, leading to widespread die-offs and failed breeding seasons. Scientists point to the event as another sign of stress on ocean ecosystems caused by rising sea temperatures.
Why now: Marine heatwaves in the Pacific are causing visible seabird die-offs, raising concern about ocean ecosystem health
