I went looking for the latest information on Fukushima. How many of you are still watching Fukushima? The last I saw 6 months ago the radiation was still so intense that it “melted” the robot they were trying to send down. As far as I know they still haven’t found the lost core material.<\/p>\n

But what I came across was a lot of non-scientists claiming that the salmon collapse on America’s North West Coast this year was due to the radiation plume coming across the ocean.
\n(They are still pumping a lot of water through Fukushima and letting it carry the radiation out into the ocean)<\/p>\n

Salmon collapse? What salmon collapse? I haven’t seen any news stories on salmon collapse and I look at news stories from Al Jazeera, the BBC, Reuters, ….<\/p>\n

So I looked for 2018 salmon articles.
\nThese are all different articles on different salmon fishing areas.<\/p>\n

First article:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Commercial sockeye fishing in Yakutat has been closed due to historic low returns, leaving set-netters in a bind until coho and chum season later in the summer. Unlike other salmon fisheries around the Southeast, biologists never saw this coming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nSecond article:<\/p>\n

Because of dramatic declines in salmon returns this year, Governor Walker declared an economic disaster for the Chignik fisheries region today. Current harvest rates are low enough to threaten the communities of Chignik, Chignik Lagoon, Chignik Lake, Perryville, and Ivanof Bay, which depend on the subsistence and commercial availability of salmon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another quote from this story:<\/p>\n

Chignik is used to catching more than a million sockeye every year. This year, they caught 128 fish,\u201d said Governor Walker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThird article:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alaska\u2019s salmon fisheries continue to lag alarmingly in several regions, with overall catches down by a third from the same time last year.<\/p>\n

The single exception is at the unconquerable Bristol Bay, where a 37 million sockeye catch so far has single-handedly pushed Alaska\u2019s total salmon harvest towards a lackluster 60 million fish.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh my freaking… The one place that the Fisheries haven’t absolutely crashed (Bristol Bay) they fish them heavily to make up for the lack of fish in other areas.<\/p>\n

It must be that the political puppy scientists know that this isn’t just insanity right?<\/p>\n

Oh and by the way back to Fukushima, I wouldn’t be eating any food that comes from Japan. Oh wait we can’t know where it comes from.<\/p>\n

Sorry.
\nBut don’t panic!
\nDo what you can to live the best way possible.
\nTry to minimize your impact on the world which is having a tough time.
\nAnd think about what you do!
\nThe best to you all!
