Scientists in mad scramble to establish ocean WQ monitoring [View all]

Since radioactive water from Fukushima is about to begin washing up on the coast from Baja to Alaska, and the US government is looking the other way, independent scientists are establishing their own private data base.

Desperately seeking donations to fund their cause, they have gone so far as to ask the general public for money.

Time is of the essence. A baseline database must first be put together so that as the plume washes ashore the rising levels of Cesium can be determined.

Already, in their review of established data, some Fukushima pollution has been found off southern California.

If researchers can't get funding for Fukushima, it must mean there's nothing to worry about. Octafish Feb 2014 #8
