Interesting that Japan is facing a similar issue about cleaning up the Fukushima site, and protesters are sitting in to protest the release of radioactive water into the ocean.

I agree, Pam. I think it's also important to note that China, which is the largest customer for Japanese seafood, banned seafood imports from ten Japanese prefectures in response. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/japan-may-see-wider-chinese-seafood-ban-after-fukushima-release-2023-07-06/

Certainly something we want to avoid here, with our billion dollar seafood industry in the region.
