  • Hydro-Quebec's Dams Have a Chokehold on the Gulf of Maine's Marine Ecosystem
    HYDRO-QUEBEC’S DAMS HAVE A CHOKEHOLD ON THE GULF OF MAINE’S MARINE ECOSYSTEM By Stephen M. Kasprzak January 15, 2019 PREFACE I wrote an October 15, 2018 Report “The Problem is the Lack of Silica,” and a November 28, 2018 Report, “Reservoir Hydroelectric Dams - Silica Depletion - A Gulf of Maine Catastrophe.” The observations, supplements and references in this Report support the following hypothesis, which was developed in these two earlier Reports: Hydro-Quebec’s dams have greatly altered the seasonal timing of spring freshet waters enriched with dissolved silicate, oxygen and other nutrients. This has led to a change from a phytoplankton-based ecosystem dominated by diatoms to a non-diatom ecosystem dominated by flagellates, including dinoflagellates, which has led to the starvation of the fisheries and depletion of oxygen and warming of the waters in the estuaries and coastal waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Gulf of Maine and northwest Atlantic. Physicist Hans J. A. Neu offered a similar hypothesis in his 1982 Reports and predicted the depletion of the fisheries by the late 1980’s and a warming of the waters. Anyone who wants to question this hypothesis has to also question more than 40 years of research, which the passage of time has documented the earlier research and predictions as correct. If you stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, it will not stop the starving of the fisheries . This will only happen if you release the chokehold on the rivers and allow the natural flow of the spring freshet and the transport of dissolved silicate and other essential nutrients.
