Rain that is. June 16th we had one of those heavy rains - 3 + inches. I said then things may improve.
I was right!
Before this there seemed to be nothing living in the Sound. There was no algae, there were no small bunker (peanut bunker), there were no small game fish. There were no big fish. The jelly fish that started early in the year had also disappeared. The Sound appeared to be a dessert.
July 13th Art Glowka told me that he was suddenly seeing some algae and seaweed around. I said 3 or 4 weeks for life to come from the food that was washed into the Sound, lets see when the fish come.
This last weekend apparently the cycle came to fruition and everyone was catching, well everything!
Listen to the creatures and what they say!

So the question is who am I?
How can I say anything about the environment?
I have worked in the environmental field for over 30 years, in a local Health Department, a not for profit environmental agency, a private environmental consulting lab and at a big oil company.
I have publish research papers on salt contamination from treatment discharges effecting well water and preemptive closures of bathing at beaches. I have presented at the American Public Health Association, The National Environmental Association, the Association for the Advancement of Sciences and the USEPA.
I have been an expert witness for environmental issues in various legal proceedings and my research and the information has influenced policy makers on all levels of government.
Finally, I have my Environmental R.S. License.
