The recent heat wave in the Pacific Northwest has been causing various issues, such as an increase in wild fires, its also caused millions upon millions of sea creatures to die.
"Christopher Harley, a professor in the zoology department at The University of British Columbia, found countless dead mussels popped open and rotting in their shells on Sunday at Kitsilano Beach, which is a few blocks away from his Vancouver home.
Harley studies the effects of climate change on the ecology of rocky shores where clams, mussels and sea stars live, so he wanted to see how the intertidal invertebrates were faring in the record heat wave that hit the area on June 26-28."
Harley could smell the beach before he got to Kitsilano Beach to find "a catastrophe".
