Beach Clean-Up Time

The Fourth of July was amazingly beautiful. We were blessed with warm weather and clear skies. Beach walkers now get the fun job of ensuring all the firework waste gets picked up, so take a garbage bag with you and enjoy the cross training workout of squatting down to pick up plastics!

As everyone is sad to know... clams etc. are toxic these days. You'll have to go to other parts of the sound for your clam fix. There is also a large phytoplankton bloom in Discovery Bay right now that is turning the water brown. This bloom is the stuff I am studying (Heterosigma) and it doesn't make the clams and oysters toxic, it just kills the larvae. And fish! So don't bother dropping your pole in that area - fish with any sense will have moved to clearer waters.
