Altered Oceans
A Special Five-Part Series on the Crisis in the Seas
by Los Angeles Times reporters Kenneth R. Weiss and Usha Lee McFarling
photography and video by Rick Loomis
Kenneth R. Weiss, a Los Angeles Times
staff member since 1990, has covered the California coast and the oceans for
the past five years.
Covering narrow policy disputes over such issues as catch limits on fish and
permissible levels of ocean pollutants prompted him to think about the long-term
health of the seas. He was further inspired by scientific lectures and papers
describing a gradual but profound transformation of the world's oceans, marked
by the decline of fish and marine mammals and the proliferation of primitive
life forms — algae, bacteria, jellyfish.
Weiss began reporting this series in 2005 and traveled widely — to Australia,
Panama and Jamaica; to Midway, Palmyra Atoll and the Hawaiian Islands; and up
and down the coasts of California, Washington, Florida and Georgia.
