Extinction in the Pacific

The only aspect of this article I disagree with is when they say that it is NOT due to ocean warming or acidification/


It is due to ALL OF THOSE THINGS

MOST RECENT HEADLINE FROM FOX NEWS, LOS ANGELES, 2 DAYS AGO...

:WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES IN THIS STORY AND VIDEO

"We just came down the stairs and little sea lions are being washed on to shore dying," Neda Soderqvist says in a video.

Earlier in the week, Kristin Thames says she stumbled across the same devastating scene.


 “It’s obvious that the ocean is changing, and the sea lions are sentinels of the seas. They’re telling us that there are major changes going on out there in the oceans today.”

AND NOW, EVEN PIGEONS ALONG THE WEST COAST ARE DYING BY THE THOUSANDS!

FEB. 2, 2015,  The sudden increase in mortality is disturbing, said Krysta Rogers, an environmental scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, because the closest living relative to the extinct passenger pigeon has been struggling for decades to recover from rampant hunting, habitat loss and other environmental problems. Between winter 2011 and spring 2012, there were eight mortality events, now this. 

THINK, DAMN IT!

WHAT HAPPENED IN 2011 WHEN ALL THESE DIE-OFFS BEGAN?

JANUARY 23, 2015 - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

Blue-footed diving seabirds called cassin's auklets, including this one, have been washing up dead by the thousands on beaches from San Francisco to central British Columbia.
The birds appear to be starving to death, so experts don't believe a toxin is the culprit.But why the birds can't find food is a mystery.

"This is just massive, massive, unprecedented," said Julia Parrish, a University of Washington seabird ecologist who oversees the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST)

[NOTE: THIS IS THE 2nD YEAR OF MASS DEATHS FOR THIS SPECIES.]

FINALLY, AFTER 3 LONG YEARS, MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS BEGINNING TO NOT JUST REPORT ON THE MASSIVE MARINE LIFE DIE-OFFS ON AMERICA'S PACIFIC COAST, BUT ARE ALSO STARTING TO ASK QUESTIONS!

UNFORTUNATELY, SCIENTISTS ARE NOT YET FORTHCOMING ABOUT CAUSE, BLAMING OCEAN ACIDITY AND WARMING.

"The gruesome auklet deaths come just as scientists around the globe are seeing a significant uptick in mass-mortality events in the marine world, from sea urchins to fish and birds. Although there doesn't appear to be a link to the virus that killed tens of millions of sea stars along the same shores from California to Alaska over the past 18 months, some scientists suspect a factor in both cases may be uncharacteristically warm waters."

YES, YES, RADIATION DOES HEAT THINGS UP!
WE NEED THE TRUTH!
Last year, experts warned that we could see 20-plus species go extinct if this "mystery die-off" continues.
What about now?  

THE PACIFIC SEEMS TO BE DYING
January 02, 2014

The Pacific Ocean appears to be dying, according to a new study recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Scientists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) in California recently discovered that the number of dead sea creatures blanketing the floor of the Pacific is higher than it has ever been in the 24 years that monitoring has taken place, a phenomenon that the data suggests is a direct consequence of nuclear fallout from Fukushima.
"In the 24 years of this study, the past two years have been the biggest amounts of this detritus by far," stated Christine Huffard, a marine biologist at MBARI and leader of the study, to National Geographic.
The masses of dead sea plankton, jellyfish, feces and other oceanic matter that typically only cover about 1 percent of the ocean floor were found to now be covering about 98 percent of it -- and multiple other stations located throughout the Pacific have since reported similar figures.

"In March 2012, less than one percent of the seafloor beneath Station M was covered in dead sea salps," writes Carrie Arnold for National Geographic. 

"By July 1, more than 98 percent of it was covered in the decomposing organisms. ... The major increase in activity of deep-sea life in 2011 and 2012 weren't limited to Station M, though: Other ocean-research stations reported similar data."

"HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO THE HUMAN POPULATION? 

ARE WE IN DANGER?"

YES.

AMERICAN PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATIONS BEGAN WARNING PARENTS OF NEWBORNS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF FUKUSHIMA'S RADIATION AND THYROID CANCERS AND ABNORMALITIES IN INFANTS WAY BACK IN 2011!WHEN THEY SAW ALMOST A 30% INCREASE IN BABIES BORN AFTER THE INITIAL MELTDOWNS IN JAPAN.

THEY SAW THE SIGNS EVEN THEN!

THE TOXIC LEAKS FROM FUKUSHIMA HAVE NOT STOPPED!
FROM FOX NEWS: 

HISTORICAL NUMBERS OF DEATHS BY STARVATION

"...crayfish and sardines have vanished from California waters around the Channel Islands and coastal areas, they’re [seals, seabirds, etc] just not able to find food and they’re just starving, coming in severely malnourished,” said Dr. Todd Schmitt who runs Sea World’s Animal Rescue Center.  

Right now at the park’s Animal Rescue Center they have more than 130 of the animals. All of them picked up on the brink of starvation along our coast.

Dr. Schmitt said they are seeing 10 times the number of seals and sea lions they would normally see this time of year."

WHEN THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE FOOD CHAIN BEGINS TO DIE, IT TRICKLES UPWARD.

"The U.S. Geological Survey and others have performed animal autopsies, called necropsies, on several of the emaciated Cassin's auklets. They've found no evidence of disease or trauma—no viruses or bacteria, no feathers coated with spilled oil. The birds appear simply to have starved to death."


FROM NBC:"Marine biologists are worried that this year's rescues could be on pace to match and maybe even exceed those 2013 when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) declared an Unusual Mortality Event (UME). More than 1,300 sea lions were rescued between January and May that year — five times the average rate.

It's a lack of fish in the wild though that may be causing the increased strandings this year, but scientists are still trying to determine what is causing the shortage."

STOP FOOLING AROUND, FELLOWS!

THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR 3 YEARS STRAIGHT!

WHEN DID FUKUSHIMA START KILLING THE ENTIRE PACIFIC OCEAN?
3+ YEARS AGO!

THINK!

CANADA HAS BEEN MORE FORTHCOMING WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT CAUSE, AND IN DILIGENTLY CONTINUING THE MONITORING OF RADIATION THAN THE U.S. OR JAPAN!

Of the fish being sold to Canada, in 2012, the Vancouver Sun recorded the number of specimens testing positive for Cesium-137, namely:
100 per cent of monkfish, carp, seaweed and shark; 94% of cod and anchovies; 93% of tuna and eels; 92% of sardines; 91% of halibut; 73% of mackerel.

FROM CBS:“The difference is we’re not just seeing little pups,” said Lauren Palmer, a veterinarian there. “Females and yearlings are coming in with respiratory issues and elevated abnormalities in their blood work. It’s really hard to wrap our head around the story of what’s happening.”


“ We've told the centers to prepare for the worst,” she said.

Further alarming the center’s experts is an influx of varying species, according to Executive Director Keith Matassa. 

SEE, IT'S NOT JUST SEALS AND SEA LIONS!

TIME TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH!

EVEN NOAA, WOODS HOLE HAS HAD TO ADMIT THAT THESE DEATHS AMONG OCEAN SPECIES ARE OCCURRING IN ASTONISHING AND RECORD NUMBERS, THAT THEY HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE.

REMEMBER THE MASSIVE DIE-OFF OF ANCHOVIES FROM AMERICA'S WEST COAST ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CHILE?  

REMEMBER THE INCREDIBLE DEATH RATES AMONG DOLPHINS, STING RAYS, PELICANS, SEAGULLS AND OTHER SEABIRDS, STARFISH, SHRIMP, OYSTERS, WHALES, SHARKS, URCHINS, SARDINES, WALRUSES, HERRING, SALMON, EVEN KELP OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS?

AND THAT'S NOT THE ENTIRE LIST OF RECENT DIE-OFFS SINCE FUKUSHIMA BEGAN CONTAMINATING EVERYTHING, NOT BY ANY MEANS!

REMEMBER THE VIDEO, THE REPORT BY THE AUSTRALIAN WHO CROSSED THE ATLANTIC RECENTLY AND WAS DEEPLY MOVED AND SHOCKED TO SEE IT DEVOID OF LIFE.

"The Australian traveler sailing from Japan to California, USA, reported that it appeared the entire ocean was dead. All he saw was a whale rolling helplessly in the sea with a tumour on its head, and “for 3,000 nautical miles there was nothing to be seen”. No turtles, no sea birds, no dolphins, no sharks".

SAILORS, FISHERMEN, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, PACIFIC ISLANDERS, COASTAL RESIDENTS, ALL EYEWITNESSES TO THIS HAVE BEGGED FOR FURTHER TESTING BY INDEPENDENT LABS.
THEY KNOW, AS SHOULD WE, THAT NO "DISEASE" AFFECTS SO MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAYS. 

SUCH AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING DISEASE DOES NOT EXIST.

RADIATION SICKNESS DOES HAVE THE SAME EFFECTS ON ALL LIFE, HOWEVER.
RADIATION KILLS EVERYTHING.

ACROSS SPECIES, WHETHER FEATHERED OR FINNED OR MAMMAL, THOSE THAT ARE DYING HAVE SEVERAL THINGS IN COMMON.
~ LESIONS OF THE SKIN. 

In many animals, the skin is hanging in shreds from their bodies.
Polar bears, seals, walruses have been photographed with extreme fur loss.
Horses along the California coast have shown similar lesions and loss of hair.
The same lesions and abnormalities are seen all over the Fukushima region in dead or dying farm animals.
IT IS NOT "TAINTED HAY"!

[NOTE: See the horses for yourselves at the following link, but I warn you, the photos are very troubling to any animal lover.

http://www.hesperiastar.com/article/20140805/News/140809900 ] 

~ BLEEDING EYES.

In some cases, "melted" eyes. Only infected eye sockets left.

~STERILITY OR DEFORMED YOUNG

In the cases of seals, sea lions, several species of whales, dolphins, pelicans, walruses, seagulls, there are severe declines in offspring.

Scientists have also documented that many young that are born live but a few hours to days and show deformities.

The Mexican breeding grounds of the California brown pelican is almost void of fledglings. 


 KPCC and Environmental Reporter, Jed Kim. “For the past 46 years, Dan Anderson, a professor emeritus at the University of California at Davis, has visited the Baja Peninsula, where 80-90 percent of California brown pelicans are born. This year, he said that he estimates pelicans have reared less than one percent of the young they normally would.” 

LESS THAN 1%! 

AND THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY A "VIRUS" OR A "DISEASE"? 

~DISORIENTATION, UNCONTROLLABLE "HEAD-LOLLING", HINDRANCE TO NORMAL MOVEMENT.

These neurological symptoms point to brain damage, and, indeed, many necropsies on EACH of these Pacific species have shown brain damage.

~TUMORS

This seems to be affecting the whales considerably and have been especially noticed on their heads.

~LESIONS ON INTERNAL ORGANS.
HEMORRHAGE OF INTERNAL ORGANS.


Found in fish as well as in polar bears, in virtually all species of Pacific marine life forms.

FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA: "Getting pacific oysters and scallops is next to impossible; the industry is in crisis."…

A group of scientists from UBC, Canada and Asia are waiting to see if they will be selected for a federal grant to see what’s causing the decline. Until then, researchers will continue to speculate.  
26th February 2014 - 10 MILLION Scallops have died in the waters near Vancouver, Canada.
[ NOTE: The SAME was just reported this week in several major media articles, and reports of mass oyster deaths as well.]

IT'S ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PACIFIC!

RUSSIA IS SEEING THE SAME THING ON ITS PACIFIC COAST!

St. Petersburg Times, July 10, 2014: Sea Lion Population Vanishing in Russia’s Far East — The Steller sea lion [has seen a] mysterious population drop on Russia’s extreme eastern lands this year, researchers said. [They] established new reproductive rookeries [but] this summer, the number of new pups born at the rookeries was the lowest in more than 20 years [...] By the end of the sea lions’ reproductive season in early July, only 163 pups were born on the main colony [...] “The reasons for the sea lion population drop on the islands are unknown, and the decline in their number causes concern both among scientists who are studying it and among nature preserve employees,” the statement said.

10th June 2014 - Tens of thousands of dead crabs found washed ashore in Phuket, Thailand


SOUTH KOREA HAS COMPLAINED AS WELL, AND THEY OPENLY BLAME FUKUSHIMA!

JAPANESE FISHING VILLAGES HAVE ASKED FOR HELP, THERE'S JUST VERY LITTLE LEFT TO CATCH, AN THEY CAN SEE THE DAMAGE TO THE FISH.

PACIFIC ISLANDERS HAVE ASKED FOR INTERNATIONAL TEAMS TO STUDY WHAT'S CAUSING FOOD FISH AND SHELLFISH TO DISAPPEAR.
BUT THE DENIAL AND THE BLAMING THIS ON "CHANGING OCEANS DUE TO CLIMATE WARMING" JUST DON'T WORK ANYMORE.

TOO MANY SPECIES ARE DYING! 
SOME DO JUST FINE, NORMALLY, IN VERY WARM WATERS!

SOME ARE DYING BY THE MILLIONS!

THIS SORT OF THING HAS NEVER, EVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

Pete Raimondi, marine biologist: "It’s happened so rapidly that some species are just missing. "

YES, ENTIRE SPECIES...MISSING.

ABC: NEWS ‘Mysterious surge’ in sick marine mammals all along California coast.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT SOME COMMON DISEASE THAT HAS JUMPED FROM ONE SPECIES TO ANOTHER.

IT IS NOT OCEAN WARMING, EL NINO, NONE OF THAT.

SAILORS HAVE BEEN REPORTING SINCE 2012 THAT THE PACIFIC APPEARS TO BE DYING, THAT THE BASIC FOOD CHAIN ITSELF IS DYING OFF.

MIGRATING SEA ANIMALS HAVE REROUTED THEIR MIGRATIONS TO AVOID THE DEEPER PACIFIC, CLINGING MORE TO SHORELINES, BEING SPOTTED IN RECORD NUMBERS WHERE THEY ARE NOT NORMALLY SEEN.

INDIGENOUS TRIBES NEAR THE ARCTIC CIRCLE HAVE REPORTED THAT WALRUSES AND SEA LIONS ARE CLINGING TO SMALL ISLANDS, WON'T GO INTO THE WATER, THAT ORCAS ARE GETTING STUCK IN ICE BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING NEW ROUTES, THAT PODS OF ORCA ARE LOSING THEIR MATRIARCHS, THAT FISH THAT HAVE BEEN SHOWING UP FOR GENERATIONS JUST AREN'T COMING BACK LIKE BEFORE! 
WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR "SCIENTISTS" TO LISTEN TO THOSE WHO KNOW 

THESE DEATHS ARE SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING WITH A COMMON CAUSE...RADIATION?

WHEN WILL THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA STOP BEING AFRAID TO "PANIC THE PEOPLE" AND JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS?
AND WHEN WILL OUR GOVERNMENT AND JAPAN'S START BEING AS HONEST WITH US AS RUSSIA WAS AFTER CHERNOBYL?
WE CAN'T STOP THIS UNTIL JAPAN STOPS LEAKING RADIATION INTO OUR OCEAN AND OUR ATMOSPHERE!
IGNORING IT, DENYING IT WON'T STOP IT!

THE DESCRIPTIONS OF MAMMALS, SEABIRDS, FISH DYING ARE THE SAME DESCRIPTIONS GIVEN OF ANIMALS DYING FROM RADIATION SICKNESS!
THERE IS NO COMMON DISEASE OR PARASITE THAT AFFECTS ALL THESE SPECIES AND WE MUST SEE THAT IT'S ALL HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY!
IT HAS TO BE RADIATION.

3 YEARS AND COUNTING BODIES   

OFFICIALS AND LOCALS ALL ALONG THE WEST COAST, FROM PERU AND CHILE TO CANADA HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE STENCH, THE PATHETIC SIGHT OF MILLIONS OF DEAD CREATURES WASHING ASHORE....FOR THE PAST THREE LONG YEARS! 

IT IS NOT JUST MARINE LIFE DYING AND BEING BORN WITH DEFECTS.
ALL ACROSS AMERICA PEOPLE ARE SENDING IN PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF "MUTATIONS", DEFECTS IN EVERYTHING FROM BUTTERFLIES TO CALVES AND COLTS.
MUTATED PLANTS, GARDEN-RAISED AND WILD, HAVE BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS!
A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH FOR "IMAGES OF MUTATIONS IN AMERICA SINCE FUKUSHIMA" WILL SHOW THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS, SOME SO PITIFUL IT WOULD MAKE ANYONE WEEP.

WHAT AFFECTS GENES, DNA, CELLS?

A LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING TO LIFE NEAR FUKUSHIMA TODAY SHOULD ANSWER THAT.
STUDIES PROVE SEVERE DAMAGE TO MITOCHONDRIAL DNA, 

AND IT'S MOVING INLAND HERE.  

25th April 2014 - More than 500,000 Carp die suddenly in a river in Kentucky.

4th March 2014 - Hundreds of dead ducks found around Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in New York.

HOW MANY NEWS STORIES HAVE WE ALL READ FOR 3+ YEARS NOW OF FLOCKS OF BIRDS, FROM STARLINGS TO SWANS, FALLING DEAD, THEIR DEATHS RULED "MYSTERIOUS", OF FISH IN LAKES AND RIVERS DYING BY THOUSANS TO MILLIONS? 

WHY DENY IT ANY LONGER?

WHY BLAME EVERYTHING BUT THE REAL SOURCE?   

Dr. Erica Frank: "In particular, this is the piece that indicates to me that they have found levels detectable-but-difficult-to-explain-without-undue-alarm:"

"We need to test the fish. Nobody, no entity, no country tests the salmon for radiation exposure: red flag. In 2012, 100% of bluefin tuna tested in California showed positive for cesium directly associated with Fukushima. "  

AS MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF RADIOACTIVE WATER FLOWS INTO THE PACIFIC EVERY WEEK, AN ESTIMATED 800 TONS EACH DAY, AND AS THE RADIOACTIVE PLUMES CONTINUE TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE PACIFIC ON THE WIND , WHY DOESN'T OUR GOVERNMENT JUST GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT:

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FUKUSHIMA IS KILLING THE PACIFIC...AND WE'RE NEXT!"

  1. i DON'T say it is either of those because some of these species do quite well in warm water, others do well in cold, some can handle minor acidification, others can't, but ALL are dying and have been dying in these MASSIVE numbers for 2 to 4 years.
    If you have data that acidification or warmer water causes STERILITY, please point me to it.
    That the algae blooms have intensified while plankton declines MIGHT be from warming?
    Have you seen the STEAM rising from the Daiichi facility?
    Does that say WARMING?
    You betcha!
    Have we records of melted eyeballs or starfish and internal and external tumors in species AT THE SAME TIME?
    I'd LOVE to think it's ANYTHING nut radiation.
    I truly do love life.
    Thanks for citing my article.
    Some are not.
