Whale shark spotted off Malibu coast in rare Southern California sighting

Oceanographer explains tropical species influx as climate-driven

Brendan Talwar, a postdoctoral scholar at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, confirmed that the tropical visitors are likely reaching Southern California due to this year's strong El Niño and a regional marine heatwave lasting roughly a year. He characterized the whale shark sighting as exceptional and noted these animals will migrate south as waters cool.

“If you see it, that's just a really unique and kind of exceptional sighting.”
