It's been a weird and scary year here for our wildlife in Alaska. From a virus that usually only infects (and decimates) farmed salmon populations getting spotted in our wild salmon (scary), to orca swimming up into fresh water to their deaths. Or the not too uncommon, but widespread red tide that happened this year.

Our frogs seem to be disappearing from the local frog pond too.

Also, I don't see how some of you can easily discount the radiation problems, considering Fukushima is still dumping highly radiated water into the ocean afaik.

Quote:

"At least 45 tons of highly radioactive water have leaked from a purification facility at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, and some of it may have reached the Pacific Ocean, the plant’s operator said Sunday.

Nearly nine months after Fukushima Daiichi was ravaged by an earthquake and tsunami, the plant continues to pose a major environmental threat. Before the latest leak, the Fukushima accident had been responsible for the largest single release of radioactivity into the ocean, threatening wildlife and fisheries in the region, experts have said."
