NASA is already seeing major changes across the Pacific Ocean as El Niño 2026 continues to develop. New observations from NASA’s PACE satellite reveal substantially lower chlorophyll concentrations across parts of the central equatorial Pacific compared with 2025 — a signal linked to changes in phytoplankton, the microscopic organisms that support much of the marine food web. But the bigger story may be what happens next. As El Niño weakens normal Pacific upwelling, fewer nutrients can reach surface waters, changing where marine productivity is concentrated. Along the coast of Peru, unusual ocean conditions have already affected anchovy distribution and contributed to growing pressure on marine wildlife and fisheries. According to NOAA’s latest El Niño 2026 forecast, the event is expected to strengthen through the end of the year, with a significant probability of reaching very strong intensity. In this video, we break down NASA’s latest El Niño 2026 observations, what the PACE satelli
