This animation shows sea surface temperature differences compared to average conditions between January and mid-July 2026 using data from satellites, including NOAA’s geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites. Areas where temperatures are unusually high for an extended period of time indicate marine heatwave conditions. Understanding the duration, intensity, and spatial coverage of marine heatwaves is essential as they can significantly impact marine life that coastal communities and economies rely on.

Loggerhead sea turtles 🐢 don’t just migrate willy-nilly. As it turns out, they follow a narrow band of ideal chlorophyll and heat levels—which stretches across the Pacific and moves north and south with the seasons! In honor of #WorldSeaTurtleDay, see how data collected from tagged turtles and NOAA’s #satellites reveals this migration pattern!
