    They would likely die, it is too warm. ;)

    Hopefully it is just a cyclical phenomenon and will correct itself next year...

    I hope it is cyclical as well. We are having simmilar problems in the atlantc with water temperature...the unfortunate result of that it contributes to more strong hurricanes. Tropical Storms are a thing of the past here, everything turns into a hurricane it seems.
