They've always been here. We're just now getting technology to a point whwre we can track them efficiently and in more numbers. It makes for great headlines but I'd be shocked if any marine biologists were surprised. The ocean doesn't have fences.

As I read the article it didn't seem like there were many. And closer to shore mainly juveniles. Maybe I read too far into it thinking this was not a normal critter for the area.
