NASA satellite measurements indicate that El Niño is altering marine life in the Pacific Ocean, with shifts in nutrient supplies expected around mid-2026. The changes are being observed through chlorophyll levels at the sea surface.
NASA reports that satellite measurements of chlorophyll at the sea surface signal shifts in the ocean’s nutrient supplies. These observations point to alterations in marine ecosystems due to El Niño's influence.
The anticipated changes will be noticeable around mid-2026, according to NASA. The agency is monitoring these developments through consistent satellite data collection and analysis of chlorophyll levels, which serve as an indicator of phytoplankton—the base of the marine food web—and therefore nutrient availability.
