Fish, Coral and Marine Mammals Are Dying While Bacteria, Algae, and Jellyfish Thrive

"In many places... some of the most advanced forms of ocean life are struggling to survive while the most primitive are thriving and spreading. Fish, corals and marine mammals are dying while algae, bacteria and jellyfish are growing unchecked. Where this pattern is most pronounced, scientists evoke a scenario of evolution running in reverse, returning to the primeval seas of hundreds of millions of years ago." - excerpt from the Los Angeles Times article, A Primeval Tide of Toxins which is a part of the series, Altered Oceans.
