Below that, cow dung (complete with e-coli), effluents from septic-system overflow, urban/suburban run-off (containing lawn chemicals, petroleum products, etc.), and lately (from who knows where) cryptosporidium. Finally, a brew of dioxins and other chemicals and organics. Mix well and dump into the bay... :-( But hey--it could be worse. At least dead whales in our area don't need to be disposed of in toxic waste dumps (as has been necessary on occasion in the northeast, on the St. Lawrence). Nothing to grin about here.
