Fukushima a possible reason for starfish ‘melting’ along US West Coast
Sunflower starfish is found literally melting in the waters of Washington state’s Puget Sound and along Canada’s west coast....
....Another stranger and disturbing fact is that the threatening symptoms have only been detected in the US and Canada coastal area. Though the reason has not been found yet, many suggest they should be looked for in Japan, or more precisely, in the Fukushima disaster, which is still leaking 300 tons of highly radioactive water into the ocean daily.
There’s massive evidence of Fukushima’s effect on the West Coast despite the silence from most western media, according to investigative journalist Michael Snyder. For example, earlier this month, Canadian authorities found massively high radiation levels in sea bass, with one fish showing 1,000 becquerels per kilogram of cesium.
Added to that, plankton tested from Hawaii to the West Coast also contained high levels of cesium – 137, while California scientists detected same isotopes in 15 out of 15 Bluefin Tuna tested.

(NOTE: At this point there is inconclusive evidence as to what is causing all of the freak incidents in the Pacific Ocean and it's bays and inlets but they are numerous and they are mostly without precedent or logical explanation. Anecdotal evidence has all of the fingers are pointing to Fukushima but scientific evidence takes time so officially it is inconclusive. For this reason I have avoided posting articles about these incidents since it is easily argued there is no proof. That is true but that tide seems to be shifting and this one specifically mentioned Fukushima as a possible cause. One thing to keep in mind is that sea-life rapidly bio-accumulates toxins because little fish eat microscopic things and the little fish are then eaten by bigger fish and so on up the chain condensing the contamination. Fish and sea mammals also cross back and forth across the ocean traveling through the plume of radioisotopes and the fact that Fukushima's plume has not yet reached the West Coast is not a good argument. (TEPCO and the Japanese government have not been honest about the true amount released but it is massive even at the levels they have admitted to and no end is in sight for a a very long time.) Add to this the fact that ships cross the Pacific Ocean and the barnacles on the hull ingest this contamination and release it later. Ships also fill their bilges with contaminated water and dump it later. In short...radioisotopes can travel in many ways...not just on the currents. It is not inconceivable that the wildlife on the West Coast is being affected by Fukushima.
