Maybe the climate implications aren’t that great, but some local fishermen have taken to Instagram to share their understandable stoke over catching a dorado (AKA a mahi-mahi) in “Lost Coast”-tagged waters. 

Mahi-mahi are generally found in tropical and subtropical oceans, with the Gulf of Mexico and Costa Rica being hotspots of note. While it’s not unprecedented to find the fish this far north — or farther — it is extremely rare. (But also exciting, sure.)
