Understanding the factors that bring to coastal waters provides new information about the ecological impacts of local and basin-scale environmental variability in the northeast Pacific. We summarize several compelling, non-exclusive hypotheses that could explain the recent increase in , including increased population size, larger surface patches and enhanced coastward transport. We compiled a comprehensive dataset spanning planktonic larval to colonial adult life stages from 10 sources covering ~1900-2025. We highlight pulses of and an unprecedented number of strandings and at-sea observations since 2014. We found that wind patterns in the central-east Pacific favor transport toward the coast during years of presence. However, we found no clear relationship between surface frontal features and abundance, nor a consistent association with El Niño. We also identified phalarope abundance as a potential seabird proxy for increased abundance at-sea. Finally, we provide recommendations for future monitoring efforts to improve long-term assessments, given the current inability to clearly distinguish among hypotheses. |
