BACTERIA IN THE LOCAL OCEAN
A recent stroll along a Pacific Ocean path used by local surfers...
A big sign warning that levels of bacteria in the ocean was at high levels and humans should avoid contact with the water.
The sight of surfers in wet suits down below surfing anyway.
A few days earlier we had walked along the rocks and sand about a mile or so north of this location. While not actually swimming in the water, bacteria is bacteria. I'd worn shoes, but others had gone barefoot.
How does the sea life - the creatures in the tide pools - withstand this bacteria?
What about the freshly caught fish being served at the restaurant on the pier?
We can stop eating ocean fish.
We can make a recommitment to putting trash in the proper cans, taking electronics and batteries and light bulbs to recycling centers, and to doing a little beach clean up every time we go...
