The Pacific Ocean is very warm now. The warm water is huge. It reaches from Hawaii to Mexico. NOAA (a U.S. weather group) says it will grow. Many heat records have broken this year.
This warm time in the ocean is called a heatwave. When water is warm, fish swim deep. Then seabirds can not find food. Many seabirds died on California beaches.
Brown pelicans left Mexico early to find food. A big shark came to British Columbia. The U.S. west had its hottest winter. Scientists worry about fires and fish loss.
