Thanks, Mike. The problem is that most seaweed that I have found comes from Japan. So I guess I am done with seaweed at least for awhile. PT

Just last night I was studying whether and where to try to find seafood that's still safe. Looking at a chart from the NOAA showing major currents, it's apparent -- to me, anyway -- that it's going to take some while for the contaminated water of the northern Pacific to find it's way into the North Atlantic to any meaningful extent. Since the Bering Straight is only about 50 miles wide, there's not going to be much transmission into the Arctic. That means that any major contamination will have to travel all the way south (past the equatorial currents) and pass through the Strait of Magellan at the tip of South America, before it is able to contaminate any part of the Atlantic. There's a gyre that circulates water clockwise around the North Pacific, and the equatorial currents will act to at least somewhat slow the contamination of the South Pacific. Meanwhile, there is surprisingly little communication between the China Sea and the Indian Ocean, so that it should take a while even for that ocean to take on serious contamination. So I'm thinking that knowing the source of your ocean products is critically important, and avoiding anything from North Pacific fisheries an absolute. However, it may in fact be decades before the Atlantic becomes unsafe. Expect ocean products to triple in price, though, as this unhappy reality finally sinks into the mass mind.
