Enjoy your fish! I for one am taking heed of the warning signs from the thousands of dead animals washing up on the shores of the west coast - not to mention the alarming drop in the number of sea-urchins, starfish, shellfish, and other species who simply cannot be found.


As your predecessor has already said...

  "A far bigger threat to our ocean is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch."
...compared to the mind-boggling amount of commercial waste we dump into the environment in a completely unmonitored, uncontrolled, unlimited way the radioactive contamination of the Pacific is absolutely insignificant.

Maybe it will even help the ecological systems there a tiny little bit because (even if only few...) people might back down on seafood from the over-fished areas there.
