Catastrophic Kill Zone Up And Down West Coast - Expert Warns: "It Could Be The End"

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die
In this new story from the LA Times we learn that the biggest oarfish in years has washed ashore in the Los Angeles area. The headlines at ENENews for the month of August alone read like the slow motion opening scenes from an apocalyptic horror movie except that they're all too real. In a story dated August 18th we learn of "thousands of millions of fish" washing up dead in Alaska; according to one official: "I have never seen anything like it." The newly released videos below tell us what the pictures and the mainstream media won't.

An August 13th story told us that giant whales had been found dead up and down the Pacific Northwest coast, leaving scientists 'baffled'. The govt. says 'troubling'. Experts say 'alarming spike'. On August 11th we learned that 'trillions of becquerels of radioactive material is still flowing into the ocean' at Fukushima leading one TV journalist in Japan to declare that "contaminated seawater will circulate around the globe..."... a "disaster expaning every day".

On the 9th we learned a toxic bloom was "basically eating the West Coast alive" with unusual deaths up and down the pacific coast. "All populations of marine mammals are way down" experts warn "largest ever recorded...never seen an event like this."

While the list goes on for the month of August 2015 we have to ask, when was the last time you heard a peep about Fukushima death encroaching America from the mainstream media? Did they report the August 8th story of the die-off of birds all over Alaska beach that 'seemed to be starving'?

While the US [size=16]government told us "we don't know what's going on" in the Pacific ocean where ill baby seals are being abandoned and dozens of walruses have been found dead along with dying whales, birds and fish, we learn from another govt expert that radiation is always on people's minds when it comes to the mortality "like we haven't seen before..."



On August 3rd we learned of dead dolphins and whales washing up in San Francisco; an inexplicable summer trend marine officials report. The August 1st story told us 'ocean conditions have gone to hell' and this dire warning of extinction..."it could be the end." 

The local news stations along the West Coast are paying attention. Check out some of the headlines culled from those outlets about the local salmon alone. After reading, please try to tell us with a straight face that we shouldn't be alarmed. Have we forgotten, this is our food!:

KOIN transcript: Half of the sockeye salmon in the Columbia River are dying… Biologists are calling this die-off unprecedented… (Nick Blevins, fisherman:) “The fish are not looking in good condition… Some of them will have lesions… The sockeye already have gill diseases“… It could be the end for these endangered species. (Blevins:) “For something that’s been here longer than us that’s going to go to extinction, we’re not too far behind then.”
Spokesman Review,: “Never in my entire (29-year) career have I seen anything like this,” [Jeff Korth, fisheries manager] said. “A minimum of 300,000 adult salmon have died… We’re seeing big gaping sores… 15,000 sockeye tried to go up the Okanogan last week… They all died… My goal was to retire before ocean conditions go to hell again.”
Seattle Times: … the Columbia [has turned] into a kill zone where salmon immune systems are weakened and fish die of infections… Some [are] suffering from a bacterial disease. Others have backs covered with a mottled white fungus. All are expected to die… 
Spokesman Review: “Catastrophic“ is a word that’s being used as scientists begin to unravel the mystery… [They're] finding dead fish, both shad and sockeye… the words scientists use to describe what’s going on are freakier than the photos:

• WA Dept of Fish & Wildlife: “Very bad news… carnage is ugly… conversion rates… 2-5%”
  
• Scientist from B.C., Canada: “Catastrophic losses… have begun to occur… It may be advisable for DFO communications to identify “talking points”… very soon to get out in front of events… [in] more than 40 years and cannot remember anything comparable to what were currently seeing unfold on the coast!“
  

Chuck Hindman  with Mid America Land Restoration shares with us what we face in America with the ongoing Fukushima radiation in Japan. While many may think what's happening there won't affect us here; they'd be quite wrong.







Was the dead oarfish in California due to Fukushima radiation or something else entirely? Oarfish have long been known to be possible predictors of earthquakes when they surface...rarely. Does this dead oarfish signify a massive quake coming to the LA area? For the record, the one found Monday near LA had an 'empty pocket in its stomach', "this could mean it recently stopped eating, a potential sign of distress or sickness."

From Huffington that  bastion of conservative principle. doubtful its Fukushima I wager it a bacterial issue like a red Tide kind of event. All types of fish are susceptible. I would guess that dolphin could get sick eating affected fish.

By Sophie Cocke
University of Hawaii scientists are seeking to lessen anxieties about the potential health risks from Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster in the wake of recent international reports warning that dangerous levels of radiation could hit the west coast of the United States next year.
Earlier this month, a study published in Science China warned that radiation leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is becoming more concentrated as it crosses the Pacific Ocean, rather than dispersing, and that it is making a beeline for the west coast of the United States. The study, coupled with recent disclosures by Tokyo Electric Power Company, or Tepco, that radiation-contaminated water continues to leak into the ocean, has rekindled public concerns about health dangers.
But local scientists at the International Pacific Research Center who have been tracking the nuclear disaster caused by Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011 say that the findings published in the Chinese scientific journal are simply wrong and that the health risks to residents on the West Coast and Hawaii are somewhere between minuscule and non-existent.
“This is a bad disaster,” said Henrieta Dulaiova, an assistant professor in UH’s Department of Geology and Geophysics. “But I don’t like scientists causing panic in the public.”
GuiJun Han, the lead author of the study published in Science China, did not respond to an email seeking comment for this story.
Her study has been picked up by several news outlets, including The Voice of Russia, which warned that "there could be ‘pockets’ and ‘streams’ of highly concentrated radiation," in an article headlined, “US West Coast to be hard-hit by Fukushima radiation."
Dulaiova explained that the radiation will be so diluted by the time it reaches the West Coast and circles back around to Hawaii, that it poses no health risk. “By now, the plume is so diffused that even if it makes it here, it will be really low levels,” she said.
Models show that the radiation plume, albeit at low levels, is expected to reach the west coast next year and Hawaii in 2015.
Dulaiova has been studying radiation levels in the waters off Hawaii since 2011, after the tsunami caused core meltdowns at three of the six reactors in the Fukushima plant. Monthly tests of the water have shown no increased levels of radiation.
More recently, she began testing the atmospheric fallout from the nuclear meltdown by testing mushrooms in Hawaii. Nuclear particles, released into the air after the initial disaster, fell to the ground during rainstorms. So far, the levels in mushrooms -- which bioaccumulate radioactive cesium, an isotope created from nuclear fission -- have been very low, said Dulaiova. In fact, her numbers show that the mushrooms contained about one percent of the radiation that was detected in other mushrooms in central Europe following the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Debris washing up on Hawaii's beaches and shorelines from the Japanese tsunami has also continued to show no elevated levels of radiation, according to Janice Okubo, spokeswoman for Hawaii's Department of Health.
In July, Shunichi Tanaka, the head of Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority, acknowledged that the Fukushima power plant had likely been leaking contaminated water into the ocean for two years. And Tepco disclosed that it was struggling to seal leaks.
Enough radioactive water to fill 132 Olympic-sized pools has flowed into the ocean Bloomberg News reported recently.
Still, there's no new threat to U.S. residents, according to Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Despite obfuscations by Tepco and Japanese regulators over the years, he said in an interview with Civil Beat last month that scientists have always believed that the power plant was still leaking. In fact, they continued to factor this into their models analyzing the radiation plume, he said, noting: "The new news is that Tepco is admitting to it and should have admitted to it sooner."
Buesseler has analyzed thousands of samples of fish caught offshore from the nuclear power plant since the disaster. His findings have shown consistently elevated levels of cesium-134, a radioactive isotope that decays rapidly, suggesting that the radiation leak never stopped.
While scientists say that the U.S. will be spared health threats as the radiation continues to disperse over thousands of miles of the Pacific Ocean, Japan is still grappling with a major disaster that prompted large-scale evacuations of residents living in the region around the Fukushima plant. The leaking radiation has devastated the Japanese fishing industry.
"There are still tens of thousands of people displaced from homes who will never be able to move back because of contamination in the ground," said Buesseler, noting a heightened risk of thyroid cancer due to the radiation.
"They're livelihoods are gone, their families are gone and their hometowns are gone."
