Technology Helps Determine Extent of Seafloor Dumpsite NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. An area encompassing more than 36,000 acres containing more than 27,000 “barrel-like” images lying on the seafloor, stretching between Catalina Island and the coast off Los Angeles, has been documented by marine scientists. The discovery was made during an expedition led by University of California–San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Although widely reported in the media that the barrels contain the harmful chemical compound DDT, that information has not been confirmed. Eric Terrill, director of the Marine Physical Laboratory at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and chief scientist for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, told the Epoch Times that the expedition survey did not measure the exact contents inside the discovered barrel field. ....
SAN DIEGO (AP) Marine scientists say they have found what they believe to be more than 25,000 barrels that possibly contain DDT dumped off the Southern California coast near Catalina Island, where a massive underwater toxic waste site dating back to World War II has long been suspected. The 27,345 “barrel-like objects were captured in high-resolution images as part of a study by researchers at the University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. They mapped more than 56 square miles (145 square kilometers) of seafloor between Santa Catalina Island and the Los Angeles coast in a region previously found to contain high levels of the toxic chemical in sediments and in the ecosystem. ....

Prompted by widespread reports of historic toxic dumping and lingering concerns from researchers and scientists, University of California San Diego s Scripps Institution of Oceanography researchers searched for a rumored undersea toxic dump site by mapping over 56 square miles (145 square kilometers) of the California seabed between Los Angeles and Catalina Island in March. ....
