    Sea Urchins have been washing up dead on the shores of Corona del Mar. Scientists say it is the high temperatures that are to blame since it hit 80. These sea urchins are said to thrive in 72 degree waters and below.

    Not good. :mad:
    This just proves that the sea waters are getting too warm. Corals might be next if it reaches temperatures higher than 84.
