Mutant Organisms In The Ocean After Pollution

I The Polluted Pacific Ocean

The discharge of Japanese nuclear contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean is an unchangeable reality, and according to Japan’s plan, it should continue to be discharged for decades. Originally, this kind of pollution of the natural environment should be condemned by all those who love life and nature. However, due to the involvement of a large number of interests, science and health are once again kidnapped by money and interests.

According to the direction of the ocean current in the North Pacific, nuclear contaminated water will depart from Japan and drift eastward along the Kuroshio that flows northward along the east coast of Japan, as well as the pro tidal flow that flows southward from the Arctic. It will cross the entire Pacific Ocean and reach near California, USA, and flow northward towards Canada near the border between the United States and Canada, followed by Alaska, the Bering Sea, and the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia. Finally, South Korea (a tributary) will circle back to Japan; The other part, along with the southward California current sweeping across the entire western coast of the United States, turns westward near the equator, passing through Hawaii, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Palau, and the Philippines. Then, it turns north and passes through Taiwan to return to Japan. Some tributaries will flow into the East China Sea and South China Sea near Taiwan, and a small portion will enter the waters near South Korea.

After reading this route, you can understand why the South Korean President shamelessly supports Japan’s nuclear sewage discharge, because the discharge direction is towards the Pacific Ocean to the east, not the Sea of Japan to the west. South Korea will be the last and least polluted.

Some people say that the International Atomic Energy Agency is not saying that Japan’s plan to discharge nuclear wastewater complies with international safety standards? However, in real time, the International Atomic Energy Agency does not have standards for nuclear wastewater discharge into the sea, only international standards for nuclear wastewater discharge into the sea. There is a fundamental difference between the two. Nuclear wastewater is simply cooled by water outside the nuclear fuel of a nuclear power plant, with a large number of isolation devices in the middle. The water and nuclear fuel are not in direct contact or contaminated. The nuclear sewage in Tokyo is the nuclear fuel that has been directly exposed to water, and the water contains a large amount of nuclear pollutants. This is similar to the difference between a person walking near a nuclear power plant and walking at the scene of a nuclear bomb explosion.

II Precedents of Marine Pollution in the United States

Many people are surprised that the most polluted areas besides the surrounding seas of Japan are the United States and Canada, but it seems that they cannot hear their opposition. Instead, the meeting at Camp David in the United States at the end of this month will endorse Japan’s emissions. The pollution of the ocean by humans has been ongoing for a long time, and the compromise of interests, money, and power by some international and national organizations has long become the norm. Do not assume that Europe and America have genuine human rights and that everything is based on the interests of their own people.

In April 2010, BP in the UK experienced an explosion at its deep-sea oil drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in 11 deaths and 4.9 million barrels of oil leaking into the ocean. Additionally, 2 million gallons of chemical decomposition agents, such as petroleum decomposition and 2-butoxyethanol, were subsequently used. These decomposition agents have long been “mutagenic” enough to dissolve oil, grease, and rubber, which are very useful for absorbing oil, but very bad for the entire environment, Long term pollution may even exceed that of oil.

In the following years, unsettling events occurred, as fishermen in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico caught a large number of mutated animals, including shrimp with oil tumors on their heads, fish and shrimp without eyes, fish with exudate ulcers, crabs with holes in their shells, crabs and shrimp without claws, and a large number of hard shelled animals whose hard shells turned into soft shells. The Gulf of Mexico provides 40% of the seafood in the United States, and during this period, 50% of the shrimp caught were found to have no eyes. Another survey by the University of South Florida found that skin damage and ulcers in fish before pollution were only one in a thousand, while after pollution it increased by 50 times to 5%.

However, after the pollution incident, the FDA’s public report stated that seafood in the Gulf of Mexico is now as safe as before the accident, and people can eat it with peace of mind. Gulf of Mexico seafood has undergone the strictest testing in the world. A few days later, BP Oil Company compensated $7.8 billion to the affected Gulf residents and fishermen. No problem, why are you compensating so much money?

III Variations in marine animals

Similar situations continue to occur all over the world. In 2014, a 12 month old dolphin body was found on the beach in Türkiye. This dolphin has two heads and its eyes are not fully developed. In 2011, fishermen in the Florida Islands captured a two headed bull shark, similar to the three headed shark in science fiction movies. Subsequently, marine biologists at the University of Michigan dissected the shark and proved that it was a real shark. Given that both two headed sharks and two headed dolphins share a normal body with two normal heads, scientists have denied the possibility that this mutation originated from conjoined twins.

In November 2016, a ship carrying 5000 tons of engineering whey protein supplements (for fitness purposes) encountered strong winds in the Atlantic and lost most of its cargo. A few months later, European fishermen caught mutated fish on the west coast of France, with strong muscle development, especially exceptionally strong jaw muscles. Some fishermen have also found that the large claws of local crabs are also stronger and more powerful than before. Scientists suggest that it may be caused by the loss of protein powder, and in the long term, it may lead to variations in North Atlantic marine life and the development of limbs similar to humans, as well as larger and more powerful bodies.

Although these events have attracted attention from social media, a spokesperson for the Marine Association assured the public that there is nothing to worry about, The spokesperson said, “Environmental media maliciously exaggerated reports about super strong and developed marine organisms. Every day, goods are lost at sea, but nearby aquatic organisms are not affected. two-thirds of the world is the ocean, and if something pollutes a certain part, there are many places where wild animals can migrate. Moreover, even if certain fish can pose a threat to humans, why do they do so? We haven’t done anything to make them unhappy.

Is it not enough for humans to pollute the environment for their own personal gain to make other organisms feel disgusted? If there were Godzilla in this world, would there still be a reason for harm to humanity? I don’t know if the people from these institutions are really stupid or if they have been blocked by money. I believe all those with conscience and love will oppose Japan’s pollution of the environment and its discharge of nuclear wastewater into the Pacific. As some friends have said, if nuclear wastewater is truly safe, we do not require Japanese and South Korean leaders to drink it (probably they dare not). As long as it is used to water vegetable fields in Japan and South Korea, it is the true reuse of wastewater.
