Mercury Poisoning In Fish from Japan

I have written a short thing on the Trash Heap that is floating along in the Pacific ocean that came from Japan’s tsunami.  That was also full of radioactive material in it.  Something moe sinister has been happening way before this though and we have all been effected by it.  

For years Japan has been poisoning fish, whale and dolphin meat with Mercury. This practice and this poisoning has been spread around the Pacific Ocean. In 2008 they were finally caught. You can read the full story on this website: http://www.bluevoice.org/news_dolphinmeat.php

Mercury poisoning is also very deadly to humans and sea creatures too.  The Japanese government has been poisoning their citizens for years with this stuff and not telling them that they were. You may think that this is just in Japan but I will explain why it can be anywhere that fish in The Pacific Ocean can be eaten from around the globe.

When they catch the dolphin in special nets, they slaughter them right there in the water.  That water washes out to sea.  Small fish and even plankton ingests the mercury in the water from the blood of the slaughtered dolphins.  Every fish that eats the plankton gets a double dose of mercury.  With each bigger fish the larger amount of mercury.  Fish do not stay in the same place all their lives.  They travel all along the oceans in the mating and other travels taking that mercury with them.  People catch fish of all kinds in that ocean too and it them makes it into the food supply of humans and other animals that eat fish, whale and dolphin and other fish.  This has been happening for many, many years before the Fukushima tsunami.  

What other things have they been tampering with that we and their own people do not know about?   

Someones Trash Becomes Others Homes and Livelihoods

I am talking about all those island that are made of the trash and debris from the last  Fukushima tsunami disaster in 2011. They estimated that some 5 million tons of trash and debris had sunk off of Japans coast and the rest went out to sea.  According to the report in 2011 http://rt.com/usa/fukushima-debris-island-texas-266/  At  tht point in time they didn’t know how much of this debris was in the ocean.  

We humans call it junk, debris, trash or waste and we automatically think it is dangerous and also an eyesore for humans.  

Many of us humans do not realize that anything that floats in the oceans become food or homes or even hiding places for several varieties of fish, mammals and crustaceans.  

We also cannot forget the plant kingdom.  I bet there is some form or another of seaweed or other food that lives in these islands.  

Update: as of  February 2014 the death toll was at Stress and other illnesses related to the 2011 quake and tsunami had killed 1,656 people in Fukushima Prefecture as of Wednesday, outnumbering the 1,607 whose deaths were directly tied to disaster-caused injuries, according to data compiled by the prefecture and local police.  http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/02/20/national/post-quake-illnesses-kill-more-in-fukushima-than-2011-disaster/#.VQoXk47F9u4

As far as the size of this Trash Island I have found, through Google Search, articles that say it is the size of your fingernail, to the size of Texas and also the size of the United States.  I cannot find a reliable source when searching the current size.

The tsunami happed in 2011 and it is now 2015.  Now that the “island” is full of living organisms, we want to “clean” it up? 

Who would we be helping at this late date, Humans or the Animal kingdom?
