This is the best summary I could come up with:
Thousands of tons of dead fish have washed up on a beach in northern Japan, prompting speculation that the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant has wrought havoc on local ecosystems.
The sardines and some mackerel washed ashore in Hakodate on Japan’s northernmost main island of Hokkaido on Thursday morning, creating an unsettling sliver blanket that covered almost a mile of shoreline.
But this particular phenomenon occurred just three months after Japanese authorities began releasing treated radioactive water back into the sea - a move which angered its neighbours including China and South Korea.
China has since banned Japanese seafood and criticised the country as being ‘extremely selfish and irresponsible’, with the Chinese Communist Party’s flagship newspaper The Global Times writing it could open ‘Pandora’s box’ and trigger fears of a ’real-life Godzilla’.
South Korean protestors also attempted to enter the Japanese embassy in Seoul carrying banners which read ‘The sea is not Japan’s trash bin’.
But critics say a lack of long-term data means it is impossible to say with certainty that tritium poses no threat to human health or the marine environment.
The original article contains 469 words, the summary contains 187 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

It takes a very trashy tabloid to stretch for causality in two events 1000 km and 100 days apart, with no connecting evidence.

“We’re just asking questions!” said the tabloid.
