Act Now

Stop Radiation Dumping in the Pacific

Japan proposes to release 1.3 million tons of radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear meltdown into the Pacific ocean sometime in the Spring or Summer of 2023.

The Pacific science community, including the Pacific Islands Forum, their expert scientific panel, the National Association of Marine Labs (an organization of over 100 labs including Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Stanford, and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), and more, are uniting to say: STOP THE DUMP. The health of the ocean, and ultimately humans is at stake. Shark Stewards has joined an Ocean Health Alliance and Save the Pacific Ocean to advocate against Japan’s proposed illegal discharge of irradiated water into the North Pacific Ocean.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

  • TEPCO, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, cites storage issues, yet there is a 12-mile radius of land within the exclusion zone where additional tanks could be built.

WHY DO WE CARE?
