Another classic quip from castalot - that's a sweet sig, also...

Regarding the lagoon there is hope. Dynamic articles like that and a concerned public go a long way. Surfrider, BayKeeper, TU, DU, etc., exerting the right pressure can get things buzzing along.

San Diego Bay used to be a nightmare of heavy metals, urban runoff and assorted maladies. Even in this defense-driven navy town shipbuilders, repair yards and other gross polluters have cleaned up their acts.

Now we have sea turtles nesting in the flats at the bottom of the bay and pacific bonefish in the channels adjacent to the flats. 8-10# bonito are regular catches in season, and the diversity of species is very good. A couple of years ago I even caught a 35" Dorado (dolphinfish) at the terminal south of the 32 St Naval Base.

Ospreys are nesting all over the the area and 100 fish days (spotted bay bass catch n release) are once again possible. The fish are strong and healthy and pull like little freight trains.

Conservation is everybody's business. It doesn't have to be greenies vs contractors... One world, baby.
