Does no one think about the surfers?
The weather is, currently, cold and windy across Southern California making for lousy, choppy surf though those in Orange and Los Angeles Counties may be counting that lack as their only blessing as those beaches are shut for the second time in less than two months after a major sewage spill.
Authorities are blaming a blocked sewer line at a restaurant in Newport Bay, according to The Los Angeles Times, which spewed at least 50,000 of untreated poos and pees into the ocean water.
Beaches are currently closed to swimming, surfing, diving, and I’d imagine wading as various agencies begin testing the brine.
Gross but how many more spills will it take for the area’s swimmers, surfers, divers and waders to demand account for this nastiness?
Whose fault is it?
Gov. Gavin Newsom?
A fine enough place to begin.
