Ten years ago, a significant marine heatwave, known as "the Blob," severely affected the Pacific Ocean's ecosystem.
The resulting environmental stress led to mass die-offs of seabirds, highlighting the vulnerability of marine life.
Scientists predict an increase in the frequency and intensity of these heatwaves due to global warming.
The Blob's impact serves as a critical case study, emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change to protect our oceans.
