Andrew Leising, a NOAA Fisheries research oceanographer teaches us the science behind El Niño, the signs, the impacts, and what we might expect in the coming months. The discussion provides insights into the effects of El Niño on marine ecosystems and the methods used to predict and track its development. The conversation delves into the impact of warm conditions on marine life, the effects on kelp and rockfish, the shift in squid movement, adapting fishing strategies, marine heat waves and ecosystem resilience, and of course, opportunities for anglers and divers.
