Have been diving the Caribbean for decades, and have never seen the sort of ecological and diversity shift i have been observing–now after my 6th dive to various parts of the pacific, I cant help but notice changes. I have never in my life seen a seafloor like what I experienced out of Frisco this past summer–yes lots of detritus, crustaceans with virtually no exoskeleton, “cleaned” coral formations, and where are the starfish in Baja? Surely, you get reports from Alaska and what they are seeing in the biosphere there? How can you discount these reports? How would you even know for a surety, since the EPA took down all the PO sites in 2011? I’m not talking about doing micro assays on tissue- to what do you attests sardine, kelp, starfish, dolphin, whale, mussel, barnacle die offs with such rapidity? I think bio-accumulation at this point. Where are the seabirds? Have you looked at the pier pilings along any of the pacific ports? When has this EVER been seen before–they are practically stripped bare??? I would like to debunk that radiation is NOT causing ANY of this–I miss eating seafood. Can you please provide NON-GOVERNMENTAL supported evidence to support this? I’m weary of reading the misinformation they put out about radiation, since after all, they have nothing but a vested interest to keep it going. Thank you for a hoped for reply to this missive

Yes, it is a grave and terrible situation. But the people who’ve had a high school science class and read some internet articles and now think they are experts and won’t listen to sound and well-researched fact would have me pulling out my hair. Please keep up the good work and try not to let them get to you.
