And higher than normal temperatures.

Thanks, Upupaepops; I had forgotten about that. I think, though, that it is supposed to only harm mammals. Maybe fish as well, and we haven't been paying attention?Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-23015867220345040142015-06-18T05:34:19.360-07:002015-06-18T05:34:19.360-07:00there is a massive domoic acid bloom along the wes...there is a massive domoic acid bloom along the west coast that has all the beaches closed.

Many years ago, when my family had a cottage on the upper Ottawa River, a local marina had some dynamiting done to deepen the harbour. About a day later, all sorts of fish floated up on the beach in front of our cottage - probably killed by the shock waves from the explosions. bevhttp://magickcanoe.com/blog10noreply@blogger.com
