flag Marine heat wave linked to "the Blob" devastated Alaska's common murre population, killing about four million birds.

flag A recent study reveals that a marine heat wave wiped out about half of Alaska's common murre population, totaling around four million birds, marking the largest die-off of a single species of wild birds or mammals. flag The event, linked to a record-breaking heat wave known as "the Blob," affected marine life by reducing food sources for the murres, leading to mass starvation. flag Despite nearly a decade since the heat wave, the murre population has not shown signs of recovery, indicating potential long-term shifts in the ecosystem.
