I was concerned about the fish when the disaster happened. I stopped eating most sushi at that time.

There was a recent article http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/oct/21/yachtsman-describes-horror-at-dead-rubbish-strewn-pacific-ocean from a man who just sailed the Pacific (and has done it multiple times) and he said he's never seen the ocean like this. There were no sea birds and he caught 2 fish the entire time. There was no sea life visible from his boat and there was so much tsunami debris that he couldn't operate his motor at night for fear of tangling with wiring from telephone poles and other crap littering the ocean.

I'm pretty terrified about the legacy this leaves for our babies and am alarmed about what a shoddy job Tepco is doing on the clean-up. (Multiple sources, not just the linked article).

So yes, I am very concerned.

Very scary. We live on the west coast ... I knew it was a matter of time before it started reaching us in ways that could be seen/felt.
