...took em long enough to connect it to fertilizer runoff from inland.. From Oregon, and it’s nearly pristine ocean coast, my one visit to NC’s Outer Banks was ..lacking. No ‘red tide,’ but an obvious decrease in wildlife. Human encroachment into the surf, and little but commercial agriculture inland left little if any habitat as a buffer from ‘development.’ I’ve not been back ~

I do not know what red tide is, but if one looks out into the mouth of the Columbia River there is red stuff in the water.

@dalefvictor We’d have ‘tides’ affecting shellfish along the Oregon Coast, too.. I forget it’s actual name, but the shellfish were considered poisonous for a period of time. I’ll ask my dad, he’s now a coastal guy in Oregon ~
