Whatever you're seeing on the shore or even floating in the water is literally skimming the surface of the actual event.[aside postID=\"news_11923920\"]Lake Merritt was particularly dramatic because it's not very deep, so you can see everything. It's really an uncountable number of fish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>We know that these fish have died as a result of an algal bloom. What is an algal bloom and how do they typically form? What has been so dangerous about this algal bloom in the bay?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bloom is when the reproduction of a particular organism kind of goes out of control. And so that's what's happening here — a particular organism, heterosigma akashiwo, grew out of control. An algal bloom of any size can lead to low dissolved oxygen in the water as the algae die. Other things are consuming it in the water and their populations then go off the charts and they're sucking the oxygen out of the water. And then fish don't have enough oxygen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algae are a normal part of the bay. There are lots of organisms floating around in the bay that are the foundation of the food web for the bay. When one of those organisms starts growing out of control and we call that a bloom, once we get to a bloom state, then it can dramatically alter the chemistry of the water to the point that there's no oxygen and/or lots of toxins floating around. It's the size and the duration of this bloom that have caused the real problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is it fair to say basically the fish couldn't breathe?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't know the specific mechanism that produced this fish kill, but it's highly likely, and certainly the pictures that we saw indicate that these fish were struggling for oxygen, whether that's because there wasn't enough oxygen in the water or because the algae released a toxin that damages the fish's gills. We don't know. And it could be both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is your sense of the cause or causes behind this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, algae in any body of water need sunlight, nutrients and a certain level of water temperature. So San Francisco Bay, we know, is over-enriched with nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus. The source of the nitrogen and phosphorus in the bay water is primarily from wastewater treatment plants around the bay. There's 40 different publicly owned water treatment plants that are treating our wastewater. And after treatment, the effluent is disposed of in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When we say wastewater, we’re talking about sewage water, like human waste?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treated sewage water. On average, that's about a little bit over 60% of the nitrogen and phosphorus in the bay. Other inputs are stormwater runoff from urban areas and agricultural runoff, principally from the Central Valley. If you mix that over-enriched bay water with the right amount of sunlight and the right temperature, that sets the stage for harmful algal blooms like this to occur. We have those necessary conditions every summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>My first instinct when I heard about this was to think about climate change. Did this happen because of climate change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone's mind goes to climate change these days when there's some sort of natural disaster. And that's appropriate because the changing climate is certainly affecting everything. But we have no direct signal at this early stage of a particular climate change mechanism driving this bloom this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The important thing to understand is that the necessary conditions for a harmful algal bloom of this type are in the bay every year, and we've known that for decades. We don't need to invoke climate change in order to explain what's happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, climate change could have played a role and will likely exacerbate this problem, making it more common in the future. But, what we know is, there are nutrients in the bay that are always at a level that will support harmful algal blooms. The East Bay shoreline gets a lot of sunlight during the summer, and water temperatures reach levels that will support a bloom even before climate change. I'm not saying that climate change doesn't have a role, but for some people, it's convenient to point to climate change because it means that they didn't have responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the problem and what is this really about, do you think?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the problems that's not gotten enough attention is where our wastewater goes when we flush the toilet. I want to acknowledge again that there's a smaller but measurable component of urban stormwater runoff and a measurable component from agricultural runoff. But we have wastewater treatment facilities that are operating the way they're supposed to operate. They're removing solids from the water. They're treating the water and getting rid of the bacteria. But they're not designed to remove these nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus, before the water gets dumped into the bay. So it's sort of an out-of-sight, out-of-mind problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This problem has been lurking for decades, and those who research it and study it and manage it within the agencies have been aware of it. This red tide, algal bloom, that we're experiencing is a signal from nature that we're taking too long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In an interview with KQED, Bill Johnson with the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board said it's actually too soon to say that human wastewater is to blame. Why has it taken so long, and why are these nutrients not removed from the wastewater?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a challenging problem. To reduce that nutrient load is an expensive proposition. And so before we begin to make the investments, it's prudent to know how much of an effect we need to have. That takes research. That research needs to be funded adequately in order to have it proceed at the fastest pace it can. And then there needs to be the leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the things that you believe would help?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's technology to do wastewater recycling. Potable reuse. We can take the water that we flushed down the toilet or that goes down the drain, and clean it up to the level that people can use it, then we've removed the nutrients and we kind of have them in hand and we then have a choice of how to dispose of them. And hopefully, that choice would be to dispose of them in a responsible manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other options in addition to water recycling would be nature-based solutions such as treatment, wetlands, constructed wetlands, wetland plants, and any plants like these same nutrients that the algae like. And they, well, they can soak it up and store it in their tissue, and then that's treating the water as well. And then a final way would be continuing to invest in the large-scale restoration of the natural wetlands that used to surround San Francisco Bay. Natural marsh plants are also filtering this water that's in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This sounds to me like infrastructure.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's physical infrastructure of the pipes and the filters and the systems to treat the water. It's also natural infrastructure that unfortunately we've destroyed in the past, but are now turning towards restoring more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will it take to implement some of these solutions, and who needs to take the lead on it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Various agencies are responsible, principally the Regional Water Quality Control Board, which issued permits for wastewater treatment facilities and stormwater runoff, etcetera. So there is sort of the lead agency at the state level. The federal level would be the Environmental Protection Agency. But also we have these sewage management districts, 40 treatment plants, and they have responsibility, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, water recycling. As an example, San Francisco does not recycle very much of its water at all. But the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission could make the decision that they need to invest heavily in water recycling. So there's many different actors that do play a role here and will have to play a role, and they will need a lot of money to implement these solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you hope people take away from the events of this week?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I hope people take away from the fish kill the tremendous diversity and abundance of beautiful organisms that this bay supports, even though we don't always see them. Many of the species that are going to be affected by this were already endangered or their populations have declined a bunch. And that's because of the way that we treat this ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Bay is a gem and it's a source of joy for all of us who see it. And when you drive over the bay and see that the water is blue and has returned to normal like that, that's great. But it doesn't mean that the problem has gone away or that we've solved anything. We really need to take this trauma and turn it into a focus on cleaning up our mess and living within the limits that nature prescribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC1031855459&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kvWirA3uksBE_oQRhtR1Q2YncQLsu0Om/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Read the full transcript.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Learn more and get involved:\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://lakemerrittinstitute.org/how-you-can-help/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lake Merritt Institute\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.inaturalist.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Record your own observations through iNaturalist.org.\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Alan Montecillo, editor of KQED's The Bay podcast, sat down with Jon Rosenfield, senior scientist with SF Baykeeper, to talk about all those dead fish.

It's really an uncountable number of fish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>We know that these fish have died as a result of an algal bloom. What is an algal bloom and how do they typically form? What has been so dangerous about this algal bloom in the bay?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bloom is when the reproduction of a particular organism kind of goes out of control. And so that's what's happening here — a particular organism, heterosigma akashiwo, grew out of control. An algal bloom of any size can lead to low dissolved oxygen in the water as the algae die. Other things are consuming it in the water and their populations then go off the charts and they're sucking the oxygen out of the water. And then fish don't have enough oxygen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algae are a normal part of the bay. There are lots of organisms floating around in the bay that are the foundation of the food web for the bay. When one of those organisms starts growing out of control and we call that a bloom, once we get to a bloom state, then it can dramatically alter the chemistry of the water to the point that there's no oxygen and/or lots of toxins floating around. It's the size and the duration of this bloom that have caused the real problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is it fair to say basically the fish couldn't breathe?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't know the specific mechanism that produced this fish kill, but it's highly likely, and certainly the pictures that we saw indicate that these fish were struggling for oxygen, whether that's because there wasn't enough oxygen in the water or because the algae released a toxin that damages the fish's gills. We don't know. And it could be both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is your sense of the cause or causes behind this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, algae in any body of water need sunlight, nutrients and a certain level of water temperature. So San Francisco Bay, we know, is over-enriched with nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus. The source of the nitrogen and phosphorus in the bay water is primarily from wastewater treatment plants around the bay. There's 40 different publicly owned water treatment plants that are treating our wastewater. And after treatment, the effluent is disposed of in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When we say wastewater, we’re talking about sewage water, like human waste?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treated sewage water. On average, that's about a little bit over 60% of the nitrogen and phosphorus in the bay. Other inputs are stormwater runoff from urban areas and agricultural runoff, principally from the Central Valley. If you mix that over-enriched bay water with the right amount of sunlight and the right temperature, that sets the stage for harmful algal blooms like this to occur. We have those necessary conditions every summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>My first instinct when I heard about this was to think about climate change. Did this happen because of climate change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone's mind goes to climate change these days when there's some sort of natural disaster. And that's appropriate because the changing climate is certainly affecting everything. But we have no direct signal at this early stage of a particular climate change mechanism driving this bloom this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The important thing to understand is that the necessary conditions for a harmful algal bloom of this type are in the bay every year, and we've known that for decades. We don't need to invoke climate change in order to explain what's happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, climate change could have played a role and will likely exacerbate this problem, making it more common in the future. But, what we know is, there are nutrients in the bay that are always at a level that will support harmful algal blooms. The East Bay shoreline gets a lot of sunlight during the summer, and water temperatures reach levels that will support a bloom even before climate change. I'm not saying that climate change doesn't have a role, but for some people, it's convenient to point to climate change because it means that they didn't have responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the problem and what is this really about, do you think?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the problems that's not gotten enough attention is where our wastewater goes when we flush the toilet. I want to acknowledge again that there's a smaller but measurable component of urban stormwater runoff and a measurable component from agricultural runoff. But we have wastewater treatment facilities that are operating the way they're supposed to operate. They're removing solids from the water. They're treating the water and getting rid of the bacteria. But they're not designed to remove these nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus, before the water gets dumped into the bay. So it's sort of an out-of-sight, out-of-mind problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This problem has been lurking for decades, and those who research it and study it and manage it within the agencies have been aware of it. This red tide, algal bloom, that we're experiencing is a signal from nature that we're taking too long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In an interview with KQED, Bill Johnson with the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board said it's actually too soon to say that human wastewater is to blame. Why has it taken so long, and why are these nutrients not removed from the wastewater?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a challenging problem. To reduce that nutrient load is an expensive proposition. And so before we begin to make the investments, it's prudent to know how much of an effect we need to have. That takes research. That research needs to be funded adequately in order to have it proceed at the fastest pace it can. And then there needs to be the leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the things that you believe would help?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's technology to do wastewater recycling. Potable reuse. We can take the water that we flushed down the toilet or that goes down the drain, and clean it up to the level that people can use it, then we've removed the nutrients and we kind of have them in hand and we then have a choice of how to dispose of them. And hopefully, that choice would be to dispose of them in a responsible manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other options in addition to water recycling would be nature-based solutions such as treatment, wetlands, constructed wetlands, wetland plants, and any plants like these same nutrients that the algae like. And they, well, they can soak it up and store it in their tissue, and then that's treating the water as well. And then a final way would be continuing to invest in the large-scale restoration of the natural wetlands that used to surround San Francisco Bay. Natural marsh plants are also filtering this water that's in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This sounds to me like infrastructure.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's physical infrastructure of the pipes and the filters and the systems to treat the water. It's also natural infrastructure that unfortunately we've destroyed in the past, but are now turning towards restoring more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will it take to implement some of these solutions, and who needs to take the lead on it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Various agencies are responsible, principally the Regional Water Quality Control Board, which issued permits for wastewater treatment facilities and stormwater runoff, etcetera. So there is sort of the lead agency at the state level. The federal level would be the Environmental Protection Agency. But also we have these sewage management districts, 40 treatment plants, and they have responsibility, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, water recycling. As an example, San Francisco does not recycle very much of its water at all. But the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission could make the decision that they need to invest heavily in water recycling. So there's many different actors that do play a role here and will have to play a role, and they will need a lot of money to implement these solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you hope people take away from the events of this week?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I hope people take away from the fish kill the tremendous diversity and abundance of beautiful organisms that this bay supports, even though we don't always see them. Many of the species that are going to be affected by this were already endangered or their populations have declined a bunch. And that's because of the way that we treat this ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Bay is a gem and it's a source of joy for all of us who see it. And when you drive over the bay and see that the water is blue and has returned to normal like that, that's great. But it doesn't mean that the problem has gone away or that we've solved anything. We really need to take this trauma and turn it into a focus on cleaning up our mess and living within the limits that nature prescribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC1031855459&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kvWirA3uksBE_oQRhtR1Q2YncQLsu0Om/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Read the full transcript.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Learn more and get involved:\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://lakemerrittinstitute.org/how-you-can-help/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lake Merritt Institute\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.inaturalist.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Record your own observations through iNaturalist.org.\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11924660/why-are-there-so-many-dead-fish-and-what-can-we-do-about-it","authors":["11649","11626"],"categories":["news_19906","news_28250","news_8","news_356"],"tags":["news_1386","news_31568","news_31567","news_31566","news_1604","news_31569"],"featImg":"news_11924663","label":"news"},"news_11924463":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11924463","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11924463","score":null,"sort":[1662112807000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"its-an-unimaginable-number-of-fish","title":"‘It’s an Unimaginable Number of Fish’","publishDate":1662112807,"format":"audio","headTitle":"‘It’s an Unimaginable Number of Fish’ | KQED","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You’ve probably seen pictures or even smelled them by now.

You’re likely to get a close up view of the birds flying low across the water, Tule elk grazing on Tomales Point, and jellyfish doing a mesmerizing dance through the water. If you go between March and June, you may even catch harbor seal pups on Hog Island. Paddle out from Miller Boat Launch ($5 parking) to explore Hog Island and the shoreline around White Gulch. From there, head south and pull up onto any of the many beaches along the way. At this time of year, you’re bound to have it to yourself!

If you're looking for a more elevated atmosphere, head across the freeway to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificabrewery.beer/\">Pacifica Brewery\u003c/a>.

This isn't your new and trendy bowling alley: here, you'll be rolling next to the regulars in matching shirts and the kids’ birthday parties.

That’s very important, especially in these times where we are kind of being marginalized even in our own city. This is a city where we really felt like, OK, this is where I’m home. Outside of Oakland I feel like a minority, on my job site I feel like a minority, but in Oakland we were the majority, we were the majority population here. And it felt like a place of rest. It was a place where we could just be comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland was never quite a majority black city. At the height of its black population in 1980, two years before the Festival at the Lake started, Oakland was 47 percent black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 20 years since the Festival at the Lake ended in 1997, that number has been in steep decline, and is now just under 25 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Travis Watts pauses.

And everybody was out flirting, strolling around.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You had to bring your A-game,” Smith said. “When I say your A-game, I mean you had to have your shoes matching with your outfit. You had to have your hair done, if you had gold ones in your mouth, you had to make sure they were super clean. 'Cause like, women knew, they knew dirty gold. They were dudes walking around the lake with snakes wrapped around them.

So we would like go to Bayfair and get special.\" She paused and shook her head, laughing. “So embarrassing. We would get airbrushed T-shirts and matching outfits and go to Festival of the Lake.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a beautiful, beautiful event,” said Watts, sitting on the benches by the pillars. “I mean, right here.

The early '90s was a hard time in Oakland, you know. It was the height of the crack epidemic. So yeah, it was a complex time in the city of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also a time when the war on drugs was amplifying the over-policing of black bodies, especially when they gathered en masse, said Boots Riley, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11679230/boots-riley-tommy-orange-and-the-summer-of-the-oakland-artist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland activist\u003c/a>, frontman of The Coup, and director of this summer’s breakout film, \"\u003ca href=\"http://sorrytobotheryou.movie/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sorry to Bother You\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Festival at the Lake, like every year, there was something where at about 6 o’clock, the police would be like, 'OK everybody go home,' \" Riley said. “And people are there standing, and they’d start trying to clear people out. It would get to pushing, then pepper-spraying, and that happened a few times before there was rebellion in ‘94.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fights broke out and other types of violence, too.

That’s very important, especially in these times where we are kind of being marginalized even in our own city. This is a city where we really felt like, OK, this is where I’m home. Outside of Oakland I feel like a minority, on my job site I feel like a minority, but in Oakland we were the majority, we were the majority population here. And it felt like a place of rest. It was a place where we could just be comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland was never quite a majority black city. At the height of its black population in 1980, two years before the Festival at the Lake started, Oakland was 47 percent black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 20 years since the Festival at the Lake ended in 1997, that number has been in steep decline, and is now just under 25 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Travis Watts pauses.
