We’ve had some strong weather around these parts.
Witness the following images recorded today (29 Dec) showing the area at the mouth of Walker Creek.
There are four different oyster-farming leaseholders at this location. Maybe you can determine who runs which lease…

Seems some new construction has been going on in Tomales Bay.
A fence, of sorts has sprung up.
To get an idea where it is located, here are two images from Google Earth showing waypoints I marked when at this new structure.

Oyster farming is very, very hard work, no doubt about that. But if it cannot be done without leaving the sort of mess you see in the above images, perhaps the leases need to be reduced in size so that the existing crews CAN keep everyone’s environment looking much better. In addition, workers need to NOT leave their tools, gloves, bottled water etc. out on “their worksite”, AKA Tomales Bay, home to a multitude of birds, fish and insects.
