Exactly my thoughts Karl. Notice that there was no mention of the reason for high bacteria? Maybe the leach field at the field station is backing up? Not!! Seal Poo Yes!
could be due in part to seal poo but not necessarily. This season has been full of wet weather and the runoff alone could be to blame. Just check the news and its everywhere. Inland lakes/ponds too. Bird flies by and poops and you got coliform my friends......
