Last week there was a massive 233,000gal spill of sugar cane molasses into Honolulu Harbor. Video feeds to local news stations show all marine life within the spreading sugary plumes are dead.

This plus primary suffocation from contact with the molasses has resulted in scorched-earth devastation. Huge Molasses Spill Off Hawaii: A Divers Report
