WHAT THE FUCK?

Snowflakes get their panties in a twist when I pee over the side.

Anyway, looks like a good lobster hooping spot....

Didn't this dumping take place 4+ decades ago, before there supposedly was knowledge of how bad that shit is?

Barrels still be leakin'?

Give Gruesome Newsom a mask and snorkel and let him clean it up.

And to think of all the guys fishing off the kelp line there and taking it home for dinner. Glad I never fished it lmao, but I almost did!

I love the smell of DDT in the morning!

DDT is just synthetic nicotine. Do you report every cigarette butt thrown in the water????????

Yes, between 1950's and early 1980's but the point is that they are still leaking much more than "broadly reported"

used to fish LB Naval Base for Halibut, Rock Crab and everything else in the early-mid 70's and clamming in San Pedro Harbor same time frame with my grandparents - they both lived into their 80's

This is why you and I all need to educate the state that fisherman are not what's causing a decrease in fish. It's the shit bags polluting and developing that decrease the volume of quality habitats for the fish to want to live in. Catch the trash and decrease the pollution. Also, no restrictions on a territory or species should be implemented without a plan to reopen and lift restrictions. What's the point of replenishing stocks and not harvesting.

If DDT was that bad, we wouldn't have a massive invasion of sea lions. Those bastards have more DDT than any creature on earth and they are still doing just fine.

Article I read said the Ca sea lions have a high rate of cancer (33%) and that the scientist believe it’s from DDT - meanwhile Newsome signs CA up for AB3030 because we need to save the ocean - fucking libtards!

Did the same article mentioned that double masking would help fight Covid even better?

Good read - thanks for posting.

Fortunately, half life of DDT in an aquatic environment is only 1-2 months.

Cool underwater pics. Probably many human remains down those depths as well.

This story is gaining traction. I'm not sure though that there is anything they can do. So sad to have this in our local SoCal waters.
