An
interview with the man, Ivan McFadyen, who has become famous since his story The Ocean is Broken went viral.
The interviewer, Jim Mora, I suspect of being a climate change denier and would have no interest of making the connection with Fukushima radiation, ocean acidification or anything else.
'The
Dead Ocean' - Ivan Macfadyen
Newcastle
yachtsman Ivan Macfadyen's firsthand account of the Pacific Ocean,
which he describes as 'broken' and 'dead'. Ten years ago Ivan charted
a course between Melbourne and Osaka. He could throw out a line on
that trip and catch a fish anywhere, anytime. Now, Ivan says, sailing
along that same route, he came to a dead ocean - no fish, no birds.
Hardly a sign of life.
We're leaving a strange and ugly legacy. Any kind of bacteria which evolves a mechanism for metabolizing plastic will gain an evolutionary advantage.
