OK, I just gotta post this now...
_____________
To add a little more confusion to the marine water pollution arguments, the
journal SCIENCE (29 Mar. 2002) reported on a study which tracked the
biological sources of fecal bacterial in Virginia watersheds. Only 15% of E.
coli bacteria had a human origin (i.e. septic runoff and boat discharge).
The
remainder came from other animal hosts, the largest contributor being
waterfowl with 32.5% of the total. Similar studies are being carried out in
California, Washington, and Oregon.
What's next? Diapers for geese?
