FUKUSHIMA: Radioactivity in the Pacific Ocean. DEATH of Sea Life A Seattle diver was shocked after discovering well over 100 dead sea stars washed up on the beach in the Brace Point area of West Seattle this weekend. The sea stars were located on a small section of beach by underwater explorer and videographer Laura James, who immediately began filming and documenting the area. "The sea stars that are dying are apex predators of the seafloor and a keystone species," James said. "What will be interesting is what will happen to the biodiversity now in the aftermath." James' discovery follows the disturbing reports of "melting starfish" being found all along the West Coast of North America. Biologists in Seattle began collecting the sunflower starfish late last month to be sent for testing with other specimen already collected in Canada. Only days later, the same melting phenomenon was discovered in California as well. Although scientists have yet to release a consensus on the cause, several theories have begun circulating ranging from disease to the deteriorating nuclear situation in Japan. At this time James says more testing needs to be done in order to find the cause, but does not believe Fukushima is directly related. Regardless of the cause, all theories playing a collective role in West Coast wildlife, which continues its disturbing trend, remains a large possibility. Just last August, independent Canadian biologists discovered herring bleeding from their gills, bellies and eyeballs around northern Vancouver Island. That same month, members of Canada's aboriginal community began reporting historically low returns of Skeena River sockeye salmon. Last year, polar bears, walruses and seals in Alaska began appearing with open sores on their skin as well as large patches of missing hair. The following month, hundreds of Alaska Airlines flight attendants filed a formal complaint after developing skin lesions and hair loss as well. According to an absolutely shocking study that has just been released, one area of the Pacific Ocean floor was 98 percent covered by decomposing sea creatures in July 2012. But in March 2012, only 1 percent of that same section of the Pacific Ocean floor was covered by dead sea creatures. This study has been going on for 24 years, and the scientists that are running this study say that during "the past 2 years" they have seen "the biggest amounts of this detritus by far". In other words, the scientists that are studying this section of the ocean floor have never seen anything quite like this before. And when you consider this in conjunction with all of the other reports that have been coming in of sea creatures dying all over the Pacific Ocean, it is only natural to start asking some hard questions. Could radiation from Fukushima be responsible for all of this death?

"In the 24 years of this study, the past 2 years have been the biggest amounts of this detritus by far," said study leader Christine Huffard, a marine biologist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California. The Pacific recently has seen its fair share of weird. Last year, there was an invasion of Humboldt squid around coastal California and sea lion dying off in worrying numbers. And in recent weeks, disturbingly, sea stars -- from Alaska to San Diego are wasting away, literally melting. But clearly, something definitely appears to be significantly affecting life throughout the Pacific Ocean. In fact, one very experienced Australian adventurer has stated that he felt as though "the ocean itself was dead" as he journeyed from Japan to San Francisco recently... Following continued news of disturbing sea life occurrences off the West Coast, scientists in Mexico's Scammon's Lagoon, also known as Laguna Ojo de Liebre, have discovered what appears to be the first ever documented case of conjoined gray whale calves.
