What we've (easily) foreseen is sadly taking place. One of the most horrible environmental disaster of our history is happening right now in South Korea. Thousands and thousands of animals of every kind are dead or dying. Tourism, Fishing and Sea Farms which were the three economical activities of the place are destroyed. Fishermen, soldiers and volunteers are fighting without rest trying to save what remains.
