    And you know that it wasn’t just the one dump site, or only the US military doing it… The amount of toxic shit tossed in the ocean by every country in the world in the past and currently must be astounding.

    Out of sight, out of mind.

      The munitions weren’t even the big part of the linked story to me.

      Millions of gallons of DDT were apparently dumped there as well, and not even in barrels, just dumped from tanker barges!

      You know, the chemical that fucks the food chain all the way up to the bald eagle and condor?
