Interesting story in today's Los Angeles Times about the increase in the numbers of the Humboldt squid in California waters, as well as sightings of the creature all along the west coast of the Americas, from Chile to Alaska. Various factors as to the cause of this is discussed in the article, with the potential of damage to fisheries along the U.S. coast a possibility of this action. The interaction the squid have with humans is also discussed, which is a rarity as they prefer to live at depths that tend to prohibit close study of them.
