Goat Rock State Park
Just south of Jenner where the Russian River flows into the Pacific Ocean Goat Rock State Beach.
The drive out to Goat Rock is beautiful no matter what direction you come from. The drive up the coast from points southward take you past many beaches along the coast.
The drive in on River Road along the Russian River is another beautiful way. #GoatRockStatePark #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #SonomaCoast #GoatRock #PacificOcean #Breakers #Nature #Coast

New research shows that when a volcano erupted in Tonga Jan. 15, 2022, the huge volume of volcanic ash, dust and glass that rose and fell back into the water reshaped the seafloor in a dramatic fashion. More from Popular Science: https://flip.it/x._057

TEPCO Begins Dumping Contaminated Water
August 24, 2023
"TEPCO began dumping contaminated water at 1pm Thursday (Japan time). International opposition and outcry have not been resolved. We document that along with the scope of the contamination here. While TEPCO has insisted the water only contains Tritium that is untrue. The long list of other contaminants can be found here [link in comments]."

By the way... If you think the barrels of radioactive water that's being "processed" and dumped into the ocean by TEPCO is all that's going on at #Fukushima, you are sadly mistaken. Underground rivers still flow by the very radioactive CORIUM still "buried" under the reactor building, and eventually end up in the #PacificOcean. I kid you not!

New #Fukushima #nuclear #wastewater leak heightens international concerns
August 18, 2023
"The latest reported leak of nuclear-contaminated water from the #FukushimaDaiichi nuclear power plant has again heightened international concerns over the competence of Tokyo Electric Power Company (#TEPCO) and the lack of effective regulation from the Japanese government, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Thursday.
"Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a press briefing when asked to comment on media reports that TEPCO recently confirmed a leak of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as a result of a crack in the hose used to transport the wastewater.
"The legitimacy and safety of #Japan's ocean discharge plan have long been questioned by the international community, and people in Fukushima have pointed out many times that since the nuclear plant accident, TEPCO's handling of the aftermath has been highly problematic, Wang said.
"People are questioning TEPCO's ability to properly handle the nuclear-contaminated water, Wang added.
"'Can TEPCO handle the wastewater in a safe and responsible way throughout the process? Can it manage the 30-year-long discharge without mistakes and errors? Can it ensure the long-term effectiveness and reliability of the treatment facility? Can it conduct wastewater sampling and monitoring activities in strict compliance with the rules? The international community is very doubtful about that,' Wang said.
"Wang reiterated that the Japanese side should take seriously the legitimate concerns of the international community and the people in Japan, stop pushing through the ocean discharge plan, have full and sincere communication with neighboring countries, dispose of the nuclear-contaminated water in a truly responsible way, and accept rigorous international oversight."

#Japan urged against discharging #Fukushima water to #Pacific
"For Eiko Kataoka, a member of the Women's Democratic Club in #Tokyo, various methods should have been thoroughly considered by #Japan instead of the discharge plan of #Fukushima #nuclear waste water.
"'If the water is truly as safe as they claim, then it should be safe for other daily uses as well,' Kataoka said.
"Kataoka is among multiple groups of people who held a rally in front of the Prime Minister's official residence on Friday, requesting the government to halt unilateral #ocean release of nuclear #contaminated water without the agreement of concerned parties and to explore alternative options."

It had a miscommunication gaffe
But one key warning system
Saved the jet from mayhem
It was only 748 feet off a draft
