But if you tie things together, the Japanese experiments with the
giant mounds under the oceans causing the nutrients that settled to
the floor to rise up. Which helped zooplankton blooms and increased
fish activity. Is it not possible that hurricanes can do the same
thing? When hurricanes go over water don't they suck up the water.
Can't this have the same effect of bringing nutrients closer to the
surfice? Hurricanes can do a lot more than soil errosion. They can for
instance for instance coconut trees into the ocean. :-) I would be
interested in a before and after study of the fish activity in the
path of a recent hurricane.
