not calling bs on the ddt off pv, because both can be true. but im pretty certain the wasteland off south pv in the 50's-70's was a result of the la wastewater outflow at white point.DDT was dumped off PV from about Lunada Bay to Cabrillo back in the 50's and 60's.
It basically turned the bottom dwelling sea life into a cemetary for decades. South PV became an underwater wasteland, where even the kelp took decades to come back.
I surfed it in the 70's and you could still tell there was something wrong with the lack of sea life out there.
Yes, that's where the DDT was dumped from. DDT was dumped in the sewers by Montrose Chemical and flushed out off Whites Point 2 miles offshore near Pt. Fermin.not calling bs on the ddt off pv, because both can be true. but im pretty certain the wasteland off south pv in the 50's-70's was a result of the la wastewater outflow at white point.
at least that what they taught us at lunada bay elementary school in the 70's. even watched a film about it mr cha's 5th grade class. i believed it then and still do now.
I had Mr Cha in 8th grade at Margate. We all got taught about the waster treatment plant. I remember the kelp reforestation in Abablone Cove, my mother was a big advocate.not calling bs on the ddt off pv, because both can be true. but im pretty certain the wasteland off south pv in the 50's-70's was a result of the la wastewater outflow at white point.

Sadly, toxins are a byproduct of our societies success.
you are such a cluck, manWhile we wring our hands, tax and fee over climate change, toxic pollution in our oceans, lands, and waterways goes on for decades unnoticed.
"look! over there! the sky is falling" while corpo's and the public itself dumps plastic trash and toxic chemicals into storm drains and sewers and they run out to sea unchecked and untreated.
Yes, that toxic pollutant enriched sedimentation just turned the bottom off coast off South PV into a lifeless wasteland for decades.industrial chemicals pesticides petroleum etc were only part of the problem at whites point. the real devastation was from sedimentation smothering the sea floor
You fail to mention all the street and gutter run-off with toxic cocktails from assorted industry, dumping and autos going DIRECTLY into the ocean every winter with absolute NO remediation or treatments.you are such a cluck, man
the amount of remediation around trapping solids and treating outflow is tremendous
which is to say nothing of the absolutely ridiculous logic of NOT addressing one problem
because you don't like the solutions employed for an entirely different problem.
FFS...that's just dumb
What do you think SWPPPs and BMPs are all about?You fail to mention all the street and gutter run-off with toxic cocktails from assorted industry, dumping and autos going DIRECTLY into the ocean every winter with absolute NO remediation or treatments.
LA/OC has yet to figure out a way to treat street/highway run-off.
that's because it doesn't ALL GO IN TO THE OCEANYou fail to mention all the street and gutter run-off with toxic cocktails from assorted industry, dumping and autos going DIRECTLY into the ocean every winter with absolute NO remediation or treatments.

spent my entire gromhood snd then some surfing sailing and grnerally fucking around in pv waters. "skanky brown" isnt how i remember them.Yes, that toxic pollutant enriched sedimentation just turned the bottom off coast off South PV into a lifeless wasteland for decades.
During large seas, rain and surf events the waters off PV coast were a skanky brown. Even during drought winters, it never got very clear. Only during the calmest of summer months did the waters off there get clear enough to dive in.
It's a hell of a lot better now, like the air quality, than it was in the 60's and 70's.spent my entire gromhood snd then some surfing sailing and grnerally fucking around in pv waters. "skanky brown" isnt how i remember them.
your among friends here sdog. tell us. where did they touch you

Are you as old a timer as I am to actually remember how you couldn't see the mountains the entire summer each year due horrendous smog daily in the 60's/70's into mid 80's? Hell you couldn't see the mountains right behind you if in downtown Pasadena, it was so bad.
Most would never know they existed if they didn't see them during fall and winter.
man, you're all over the place...It's a hell of a lot better now, like the air quality, than it was in the 60's and 70's.
