A large and unusually warm mass of water is threatening to disturb the marine ecosystem along the Pacific Coast from Southern California to Alaska, scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.
They call it the Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwave of 2019, and if it doesn’t dissipate soon, researchers said it could be as destructive as the infamous “blob” of warm water that caused massive toxic algae blooms along the coast and wreaked havoc on whales, salmon, baby sea lions and other marine life in 2014 and 2015.

Malibu may get rent control … along with the entire State of Califonria.
California’s Legislature is on the verge of approving one of the only state laws in the nation to limit rent increase.
Assembly Bill 1482 would limit yearly rent increases statewide to 5% plus inflation for the next decade.
The rent hike would -not- include single family houses owned by individuals.
But it would affect houses owned by corporations.
How it would affect mobule home space rents …a crtiticla issue in Malibu … yet to be seen.
Powerful interest groups have lined up against the measure, and its passage by the Legislature’s Sept. 13 deadline is far from assured … according tot he L A Times.
It would be primarily targted tt apartment buildings and condos.

Malibu was one of the first cities to ban straws.
Now … California lawmakers are close to deciding on three far-reaching pieces of plastics legislation … including one that would phase out non-recyclable single-use packaging containers by 2030.
California has been a trailblazer in banning single-use plastics bags and turning plastic straws into fast-food pariahs.
State Senator Ben Allen . of Santa Monica … is a sponsor.
“We have been working really hard, and engaging in robust discussions all summer long, and really trying to do everything we can to incorporate their concerns while making sure we stay true to the core goal of the bill,” said Sen. Ben Allen (D-Santa Monica), who introduced SB 54.
Others have mounted campaigns against the proposals. Novolex — a South Carolina company that spent millions of dollars on a unsuccessful effort to kill California’s plastic bag ban — is financing a social media campaign to spread concerns about the legislation.
With the innocuous name of “Californians for the Environment and Recycling,” the campaign claims that SB 54 and AB 1080 “will unintentionally impact the availability, affordability and quality of many products that families rely on for food, health, and well-being.”
