Somebody should tell the Sea Lions and seals not to poop there

Anyone have more thoughts on this? I was thinking of heading down this weekend and although I was planning on Monastery or Butterfly House if conditions permit, I'm not exactly inspired by a high fecal matter count anywhere in the area.

Ben is it Seal/Sealion related?

I was at Del Monte and then the Breakwater last night (5/31/06) thinking the levels would have flushed out since it's been 5 days but man, the water at both spots REALLY STUNK like rotting something. Viz was decent at about 10ft both spots but man, THAT SMELL!

john pennekamp park has been under advisory for about a month, and the developers will tell you it has nothing to do with cesspools, 18 mile stretch redevelopment or increased development, OK i will blame the iguanas, anyone wanna buy a bridge?

Chuck's right, you just have to click on Lover's Beach to see the update. The main page still has it as closed.
