"You are looking at pictures of our family home in Wales.

A 5 part series from the LA times about the death of our oceans

"The fireweed began each spring as tufts of hairy growth and spread across the seafloor fast enough to cover a football field in an hour.
When fishermen touched it, their skin broke out in searing welts. Their lips blistered and peeled. Their eyes burned and swelled shut." This is just a little from part one of Altered Oceans, truly terrifying.
