Thanks Judy,

It is interesting that the article does not mention the fish eating birds that
historically reproduce on our Channel Islands that became extinct there due to
DDT dumping? They show remarkable recovery now, with the Bald Eagle and
Peregrine Falcon leading they way? This phenomenon has to be part of the
research and the story, me thinks? Paul

A team of Scripps and NOAA researchers set sail to map the seafloor for DDT
waste barrels dumped decades ago. As many as half a million of these barrels
could still be underwater today.
AND: the Kelp Forest Monitoring presentation is on the SAMO Fund youtube
channel, along with Michael Delaney's presentation about Sailing ChIs. It's
almost like being there, sigh.
