Beach Pollution
* Re “Flynn Urges Study of 2 Polluted Beaches,” Feb. 13.
Supervisor John Flynn is concerned that weekly tests show polluted water at the two popular beaches in Channel Islands Harbor. However it is too bad that the supervisor has been given misleading advice by the Environmental Health Division concerning the cause of the pollution. These professionals are telling the supervisor that the pollution is caused by some cats that live in the rocks at one corner of the harbor. Cats don’t go into the water to do their business and there wasn’t enough rain in past months to wash fecal matter into the harbor.
The supervisor is right when he asks for outside help. He needs competent help to solve this problem. Hopefully, his Environmental Health Division won’t kill the cats in the meantime.
