El Niño drives California sea lion crisis: domoic acid surge, starving pups

Scientists attribute crisis to warming-driven changes in sea lion feeding patterns

UC Santa Cruz ecologist Dan Costa explains that El Niño warming fuels harmful algal blooms while pushing sea lions farther north in search of food, leaving nursing pups abandoned on traditional Southern California breeding grounds to starve.

“Because of the El Niño you have warming, which probably helps the harmful bloom. And then that domoic acid gets released, fish eat it, and then it biomagnifies in the fish.”
