GLOBAL EFFECTS OF
EL
NINO
NORTH AMERICA
Some states, such as California, experience warmer ocean temperatures after El Nino.
Because of this, some animals may die or migrate to cooler waters.
When the water temperature returns to normal, the species will eventually die off. :(
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, during the 82/83 El Nino a group of bottlenose dolphins went up the coast of California from the Los Angeles area.
This causes a loss of bottlenose dolphins for the Los angeles area.

I only used California as an example. This is happening around the world. Here's a picture explaining El Nino's condition.
