    From JIM WELLER@1:135/392 to DAVE DRUM on Wed Sep 22 21:40:00 2021

    Quoting Dave Drum to Jim Weller <=-

    Oysters were once free to any poor person who could walk to the
    beach with a bucket, before industrial pollution wiped out whole populations.

    You can still get barnacles for free, though.

    I don't think I want to eat barnacles that live in the kind of water
    that kills oysters! [g]


    Cheers

    Jim

    In Califunky at that time the problem was less the ocean water quality
    and more the Los Angeles area air quality .... which was blamed on the automobile culture. But, y'know, whenever the Air Pollution Control
    Board issued a "SIG Alert" and the power plants were required to switch
    from burning high-sulphur (cheap) Indonesian oil and switch to natural
    gas - the problem soon cleared up. And no one quit driving their cars.
