thick molasses has turned Honolulu Harbor into a watery wasteland
where thousands of fish have been suffocated - a disaster that officials
say Mother Nature will have to clean up. “There's nothing alive there at
all,” diver Roger White told NBC affiliate KHNL after making a seven-
minute video of dead sea life blanketing the bottom of the harbor
"Unlike with an oil spill, it's a sugar product so it will dissipate on its own,"
Matson spokesman Jeff Hull told NBC News on Thursday. “There's not an
active cleanup.” “The molasses is not toxic but it's heavier than water so
it's spreading around on the sea floor, displacing the oxygen-rich water
down there, and the fish are suffocating,” said Keith Korsmeyer, a
professor of biology at Hawaii Pacific University. The die-off also could
lure predators like sharks, barracuda and eels to the harbor and
neighboring Keehi Lagoon, experts warnedKorsmeyer said marine life
would probably repopulate the harbor, after the low oxygen water moves
out, but that could take months or even years
