Off the coast of California, a historically strong El Niño is unfolding on top of a record-breaking marine heatwave, pushing ocean temperatures to new heights. In addition to boosting sea levels and amplifying storm risks, all that extra heat is encouraging exotic species to pay the Golden State a visit.
