Also see 9 day old HN thread Eco disaster at Kamchatka peninsula with mass death of sea animals [1]. I still find it odd that the die off is restricted to benthic animals. I can’t think of a plausible cause but I’m sure that an explanation will emerge soon enough.

The cause appears to be due to a toxin produced by a micro algae bloom:

Slow motion mass suicide.


Is there any way to block this kind of posts in HN? some browser extension maybe? I just want tech related news not get depressed with this kind of posts.
