Why would these sardines migrate to the opposite end of the country, only to end up in habitat that is obviously too warm for them?

Climate ground zero: Rapid Arctic warming is a major trigger in extreme global weather events by Ethan van Diemen, Daily Maverick July 29, 2021 Climate ground zero: Rapid Arctic warming is a major trigger in extreme global weather events by Ethan van Diemen, Daily Maverick July 29, 2021 If we are to understand the recent record-breaking heatwave in the western parts of North America, extreme heat in Siberia and devastating floods in Western Europe and parts of China, we need to start taking a closer look at the Arctic. This is according to a newly released report by the Climate Crisis Advis...

Many studies have shown how climate change is wreaking havoc on our oceans (and the world). Warming sea temperatures, more powerful storms, rising sea levels are all quickly becoming a reality.  This year, ocean currents have been the focus of numerous studies. And, unfortunately, research is showing that key ocean current systems like the Gulf Stream are weakening.  The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report this fall that projects the so-called “conveyor belt” of currents around the planet will weaken by as much as a third by 2100 if emissions continue at t...

You can now adopt a rescued turtle hatchling at the Two Oceans Aquarium The 2021 hatchling stranding season has begun, which means that the Two Oceans Aquarium's first 'little patients' are up for sponsorship. The Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town recently said that they have a number of rescued turtle hatchlings up or adoption. According to the aquarium, no more than two in a thousand loggerhead turtles survive into adulthood. Thanks to compassionate and caring people just like you, stranded hatchlings are rescued along the Cape’s coast and nursed back to health by our turtle rehabilitati...

Satellite © Tidetech Marine Data The creation of ocean current maps depend on the measurement of sea level, which is the base level for measuring elevation and depth on Earth. The ocean is one continuous body of water, so while its surface tends to be the same level throughout the globe, factors like winds, currents and variations in temperature prevent the sea surface from being truly level. Sea level is primarily measured using altimetry satellites in space, so until the 1990's real-time information about ocean currents for routing across oceans was effectively non-existent. Ma...
