@nudibranch_nerd: The millions of anchovies in Monterey Bay were stinky, but they supported so much wildlife! They attracted birds, seals, sea lions and whales… which attracted higher predators like orcas. Eventually, some became stuck in harbors - using up all of the available oxygen and creating a hypoxic environment. This was such a cool event to observe. We will see if it happens again this year 🤓 #anchovy #orca #killerwhale #sealion #seal #marinebiology #stem #harbor #marina #ocean #fish #sealife #seacreatures #nature #marinebiologist

I saw a red crab spawning years ago. It looked insane, the entire water was red from all the tiny crabs.

This was why there was a very active anchovy fishing operation in Monterey Bay up until the early 1950’s. With no commercial fishing now you get situations like this every now and then.
