Dead fish and mollusks arrive each year on the island of Santa Marie each year, but 10,000 decaying squid is not the norm and scientists are researching what has created such an epic die-off.
Truth and Action has reported on other biblical proportion death of animals in recent months, from whales to birds. Along the West Coast of the United States, thousands of birds have washed up on the shores.
The media pondered and interviewed as many ignorant and clueless people they could find and still were unable to fathom the mystery. Fingers point to a wide range of culprits ranging from starvation because all the fish left, carcasses of dead whales rotting, a major bird virus, the left over radiation fallout from the Fukushima nuclear plant of half a decade ago or several other dire predictions.
Another disproportionate die-off reported by Truth and Action has been the whale population.
In addition to the humpback whale deaths in British Columbia, approximately 21 fin whales and humpback whales have been found in southeast Alaska in the past two months. No one is sure what is causing the sudden rise in whale deaths, and entanglement isn’t likely the culprit behind them all.(2)
One possibility for the sudden rise in whale deaths is the radiation from the Fukushima power plant that is currently bombarding the coast. In 2011, a tsunami laid waste to three nuclear reactors on the coast of Japan at the Fukushia Daiichi power plant. Since then, hundreds of tons of radioactive material have been flooding into the ocean each day, contaminating marine life.
The newest disaster, 10,000 squid, may very well also find its killer in Fukushima and the great amount of radioactive pollution. The people who live on the inundated island are very concerned for the health of their children due to this mass grave sight.
“God help us that the children do not get sick from the smell,” said one resident in an interview with Reuters.
Deputy Police Chief Mario Grandon said that the squid have been rotting for nearly a week.
“Experts are coming here to determine whether the incident could cause sanitary emergency, which is probable, given the quantity of squid that have washed up here,” he said.
Rodrigo Valencia of the National Fishing and Agriculture Service says preliminary evidence suggests the squid died and washed up on shore due to a phenomenon called “upwelling.” This refers to a situation when dense, cooler and usually nutrient-rich water moves towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water.
“It was caused by an upwelling, due to a drop in oxygen levels, which led to the death of these creatures,” Valencia said.
One wonders what the next epic die-off will be and if nuclear pollution will ever be publicly tied to the deaths.

It’s radiation from Fukishima
Cap is not holy!
Wow ! Do we know what caused this catastrophe?
no doubt
Fukushima is my first culprit but the government also uses massive sound bombs underwater that’s the layman’s terms for it and it kills whatever is in its path such as a group of squid. That would be my second guess.
