Underwater video of low dissolved oxygen event in Hood Canal

What exactly is the answer? Less traffic from commercial boats? That kills commerce. Less recreational boat traffic? Fine more people should learn to sail anyway. Tighter regs on industry and waste disposal going into the sound? Good luck getting past lobbyist and legislature. It's the same old crappy thing. There is seemingly no balance to be had. And the suits with the money always win over the guys in the flannel trying to do the good thing.

Terrible that we've let things go so far.

On our beach down there I'm always finding tons of dead fish, crabs, little shrip and octopus things. It's sad.

Hood Canal is dying. We hear a bit on the local news when things are at their worst. But too little is being done because it costs money to fix even though the cost only goes up as we wait. And waiting too long may also mean there is no turning back. So sad.

This is awful. I took my diving certification in 1993 in Hood Canal and there was lots of life in the water - sea cucumers, rock fish, ling cod and crabs everywhere. So sad to see what has become of the canal. The area is somewhat depressed already, so further degradation of the canal will have a severe impact on the people who live along the canal.

this is very disturbing,, What is the cause.. This needs to be advertised and put at the attention of more people I live in the Pugetsound area and am a boater, this is the first I heard of this,, Id like to get a copy of this for out yachtclub or have a fish and wildlife person make a presentation to our club,
