📰 News we're reading

• Earth is simmering in its hottest water temps on record, and that's bad for fish and us (orlandosentinel.com) — Record-warm ocean temperatures worldwide are raising alarms for marine life and coastal communities, including here in Huntington Beach, where Bolsa Chica waters are part of the broader trend. Warmer seas can stress fish, disrupt ecosystems, and ultimately affect local recreation, tourism, and the coastal environment residents rely on.
   

• Governor signs law shielding immigration service providers from threats (wavepublication.com) — A new California law will shield immigration service providers from doxxing and violent threats, creating a confidential address program similar to Safe at Home. State Sen. Tony Strickland of Huntington Beach opposed the measure, warning it could chill free speech and investigative journalism, while supporters say it's needed as threats against immigration workers rise statewide.
   

• She adopted her dream doodle (bestfriends.org) — A Huntington Beach family recently adopted their dream doodle, Bentley, through a breed-specific rescue group instead of buying from a breeder. Their experience shows local residents can still find specific breeds through shelters and rescues, while helping advance Best Friends' broader no-kill mission and saving pets that need homes.
