☆ An orca mysteriously died thousands of miles from home after swallowing 7 sea otters whole
  + stars: | 2023-10-04 | by ( Maiya Focht | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Scientists were surprised to find seven fully intact sea otters in the orca's stomach. Combined, the sea otters weighed a whopping 242 pounds. But why sea otters? One of the sea otters was found lodged in the orca's esophagus, blocking her respiratory tract. AdvertisementAdvertisementWhy she swam all that way and why she seemingly swallowed seven otters whole may never be entirely clear.

☆ Ocean explorers found a golden orb on the Alaskan seafloor, and they have no idea what it is

Marine researchers found a mysterious golden orb deep on the Alaskan seafloor. It's not entirely surprising, then, that deep-sea explorers just found something entirely new during an Alaskan expedition. But this particular object, what looks like the remains of some type of golden orb or egg, surprised scientists. The orb could be an egg case or sponge, but Candio isn't ruling out "something more strange." AdvertisementAdvertisementResearchers need to perform tests to discover more about the mysterious golden orb.

☆ Fact Check-Video of father gathering children during Alaska earthquake dates to 2018

A home security camera video showing a father trying to rush out of the house with his children during an earthquake in Alaska in November 2018 has been miscaptioned online as a scene from a July 2023 earthquake centered in southeastern Alaska. Jesse Elmore of Anchorage, Alaska, the father seen in the video, confirmed to Reuters that the clip from his in-home security camera shows him responding during an earthquake centered in Anchorage on Nov. 30, 2018. Posts sharing the video as more recent make reference to a July 16, 2023 earthquake focused on the Alaska Peninsula, an area that separates the Gulf of Alaska from the Bering Sea (here). The caption states that the video shows a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that occurred on Nov. 30, 2018, and was filmed in Anchorage, Alaska (here), archived (here). Home security camera video dating to November 2018 does not show a scene during a 2023 Alaska earthquake.

☆ Marine heatwaves are sweeping the seafloor around North America
  + stars: | 2023-03-13 | by ( Gloria Dickie | Thomson Reuters | Gloria Dickie Reports On Climate | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
A team of scientists with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have conducted the first assessment of marine heatwaves along North America's continental shelves. Surface heatwaves can be picked up by satellites and can result in huge algal blooms. It found that while sometimes a marine heatwave can hit both the sea surface and ocean bottom at the same time, bottom heatwaves can also occur on their own. Marine heatwaves have become about 50% more frequent over the past decade. Past bottom marine heatwaves have decimated Pacific cod and snow crab populations.

Sunday afternoon, mandatory evacuations were activated for residents of the Point Pleasant community south of the city of Sacramento, Sacramento County officials said. "Flooding in the area is imminent," the Sacramento County Office of Emergency Services said in a statement. NBC affiliate KCRA of Sacramento reported that dozens of motorists have been rescued from vehicles stranded in high waters in Sacramento County. Nearby Oakland, however, set its one-day record by scoring 4.75 inches of rain, the National Weather Service said. "Precipitation chances will ramp up again Monday and Tuesday as a series of Pacific Storm systems continues to impact the region," the National Weather Service said.
☆ U.S. holds sale of drilling rights off Alaska coast
  + stars: | 2022-12-30 | by ( Nichola Groom | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Dec 30 (Reuters) - The Biden administration on Friday will hold a sale of oil and gas drilling rights off the coast of Alaska, the first federal auction in the region in more than five years. The agency had scrapped the Cook Inlet sale earlier this year before the IRA passed, citing a lack of industry interest. Cook Inlet stretches 180 miles (290 km) from Anchorage to the Gulf of Alaska. There are 14 active federal leases in Cook Inlet, all of which were purchased by Houston-based Hilcorp at the last federal auction in the region in 2017. Operating oil and gas platforms in the area are all in state waters, but oil production has declined substantially since peaking in the 1970s.

Dec 21 (Reuters) - Environmental groups sued the Biden administration on Wednesday to block a sale of oil and gas drilling rights off the coast of Alaska that is scheduled for next week. Interior had scrapped the Cook Inlet sale this year before the IRA passed, citing a lack of industry interest. "Cook Inlet is already experiencing severe effects of climate change, and new oil and gas leasing will only magnify those harms," the complaint said. Cook Inlet stretches 180 miles (290 km) from Anchorage to the Gulf of Alaska. Operating oil and gas platforms in the area are all in state waters, but oil production has declined substantially since peaking in the 1970s.
