Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Coastal Cleanup Day Returns Saturday In Malibu (patch.com) — Malibu residents have several nearby options to join California Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, with organized volunteer efforts at local beaches including Zuma, Surfrider, Malibu Lagoon, Leo Carrillo, and more. The countywide event, part of a 42-year statewide tradition, aims to keep trash from washing into the ocean, especially after this year's heavier rains.
2. 'Most stressful winter': El Nino-fueled coastal erosion in California likely to get worse (abcnews.com) — Malibu's coastline is already seeing serious erosion and even a sinkhole damaging a seaside home, and experts warn this winter's El Niño could bring even higher seas and stronger waves. Residents along the shore should expect unusually high tides, more storms, and a greater risk of landslides or infrastructure damage as sea levels peak in November and December.
3. A Whale Shark Cruises Off Malibu as Warm Waters Draw Subtropical Visitors to Southern California (natureworldnews.com) — A young whale shark was filmed between Malibu and Santa Barbara Island, highlighting how unusually warm ocean temperatures are drawing subtropical species into local waters. Scientists say these visitors pose little risk to swimmers but warn Malibu-area boaters to slow down and give large animals space. Researchers also link the sightings to ongoing marine heat waves and a strengthening El Niño.
4. Earthquake news & latest pictures from latintimes.com (latintimes.com) — Among major quakes worldwide, a 4.7 magnitude earthquake struck Malibu on Thursday morning, giving local residents a sharp reminder of our seismic risk. While classified as a light quake, it appears in a global roundup that underscores how active fault lines remain and why Malibu households should keep emergency plans and supplies up to date.
5. Women's Volleyball Downs UC Santa Barbara in Four Sets (pepperdinewaves.com) — Pepperdine women's volleyball rewarded a strong Malibu home crowd by beating UC Santa Barbara 3–1, highlighted by 14 kills from Maggie Beauer and a gritty defensive effort. The match drew the program's biggest home turnout in two years, and fans are encouraged to check upcoming home dates and ticket options if they want to catch this nationally respected program in person.
