flag A surge in brown pelican feeding along California’s coast in late November 2025 signals improved marine health and food abundance.

flag A recent feeding frenzy of brown pelicans along California’s Central Coast, observed in late November 2025, signals a temporary improvement in marine health. flag Thousands of the birds were seen diving to catch abundant schools of anchovies, sardines, and mackerel, indicating plentiful food and favorable ocean conditions. flag Though the species remains vulnerable to warming waters, toxic algal blooms, and food scarcity, the event offers hope for population stability. flag Scientists, including Tammy Russell of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, are tracking pelicans with electronic leg bands to study their movements and resilience. flag The birds, which can weigh up to 8 pounds and have a nearly 7-foot wingspan, depend heavily on consistent fish supplies, and their current feeding success suggests a positive shift despite ongoing environmental threats.
