Fukushima is a nuclear swamp nightmare. The
heavy rains in Japan made more areas in Japan radioactive as the
radiated waste bags sat around for years and hundreds got carried away
in the flood.. https://youtu.be/rBV2F3al_Hg (thank you Strontium Milks).
Massacre along West Coast continues — Alarming,
bleak situation as disease re-emerges — Hundreds of millions of sea
stars estimated dead — Changes in cellular matrix observed, “a lot of
interesting genes being found” — Other sea life disappearing as tidepool
communities ‘shift’

“Countless” dead birds reported in Pacific off
US coast, nothing will eat the bodies — “There are no seals present” —
Expert: “The fish are not there… all of them are starving” — Animals
“acting weird, sick and weak, too weak to fly, too weak to run” —
Resident: We want to know if it’s from Fukushima.
National Geographic, Sep 15, 2015 Why Are So
Many Starfish Dying? — Sea stars along North America’s west coast have
been dying at an alarming rate. A syndrome known as sea star wasting
disease causes the animal to lose limbs and eventually disintegrate,
leaving behind a pile of white goo…
National Geographic, Sep 15, 2015: The massacre
of sea stars along the West Coast continues, although the pace has
slowed because so many already have died… Some areas have seen up to a
90 percent decline in their populations… Scientists [are] investigating
why this disease… is now rampaging through 19 species of sea stars… In
some of the locations hit early on with this wasting disease, [Pete
Raimondi, a marine ecologist at the University of California, Santa
Cruz] and colleagues are already starting to see a shift in the animal
community. In tidepools, where there used to be a mix of organisms
including sea stars, scientists are now seeing mussels dominating… in
the Pacific Northwest, sea stars have either gotten smaller in body
size, or they are big, with few in the mid-size range, says Drew
Harvell, a marine ecologist at Cornell University.
National Geographic transcript,
Sep 15, 2015: Ben Miner, marine biologist at Western Washington Univ.:
“From Mexico all the way to Alaska, there’s been a massive die-off of
sea stars. Estimates are in the tens to hundreds of millions of sea
stars have died in the last couple of years. It’s one of the largest
mortality events associated with a disease that we’ve ever observed in
the ocean… Several years ago stars covered the bottom of the seas… we
found less than 20 today. It’s just depressing.”
UC Santa Cruz, Aug 18, 2015: From Washington
down through central California… most of these sites show significant
decreases in population size… indicating a high impact overall…
Monitoring sites just north of Point Conception, at the southern end of
central CA, tend to show higher prevalence of symptoms… The four Orange
County monitoring sites in southern California turned up a total of four
ochre stars, with two of the sites having zero ochre stars remaining in
the monitoring plots… past total abundance for these sites would have
averaged over 150 sea stars… In the Salish Sea/Puget Sound region of
Washington… recent observations from citizen scientists indicate that
the disease is re-emerging in some areas. A few sites with high numbers
of juvenile ochre stars and mottled stars in winter 2014/spring 2015
have shown
