According to Natural News, two
prominent academic and research institutions in California are joining forces
to conduct an in-depth study into how radiation from the stricken Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear power facility is affecting California's pristine kelp forests.
According to a recent announcement by the Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, the project will involve monitoring radioactive contaminants set to
arrive later this year from Fukushima, further proof of the plant's continued
release of radioactive materials.
Steven L. Manley, a professor of
biology at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), and Kai Vetter,
head of the Berkeley Lab's Applied Nuclear Physics department, will together
lead a team of researchers from 19 academic and governmental institutions in
tracking the extent of contamination by Fukushima radiation along the entire
California coastline. From as far north as Del Norte to as far south as Baja California,
the team will collect samples from the many kelp forests that stretch along the
Pacific.
As it turns out, there are
currently no published data on the levels of radiation present off the Pacific
coast, and particularly in California's kelp forests. These forests serve not
only as diverse biological communities for hundreds of species of marine life
but also as a source of food and habitat for entire marine ecosystems. Without
them, in other words, hordes of diversified sea creatures would quickly disappear.
"The California kelp forest
is a highly productive and complex ecosystem and a valuable state
resource," Manley said in a recent statement about the project. "It
is imperative that we monitor this coastal forest for any radioactive contaminants
that will be arriving this year in the ocean currents from Fukushima
disaster."

According to a video report by
AE911Truth, some 1,500 engineers and architects now say WTC 7 "could not
have been brought down by office fires."
One of those expert critics is
Richard Gage, a member of the American Institute of Architects and founder of
American Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, who says fire has caused
equal or worse damage to other, taller structures, without ever producing the
same effect.
"Fires have never before
caused the collapse of any skyscraper, even though there are numerous examples
of much hotter, larger and longer lasting fires in these buildings," he
said. "And in the case of Building 7, the fire that NIST [National Institute
of Standards and Technology] said started the collapse had actually burned out
over an hour before.
"It could not have caused
the collapse as [the government] said," he added, noting that the very
"modern" Building 7 was not struck by an aircraft and collapsed
"mostly into its own footprint... in just under seven seconds."
