Re: Marine Sanctuary - Navesink River update THE DIRTY WEST
The source of that pollution is tough to nail down. Since the pollution is fecal related I don't know if pesticides on fancy lawns to be jealous of make much of a contribution.
Have crabbed there decades and I have ALWAYS noticed the quality of water degrades VERY quickly west of the 35 Bridge. Superstorm Sandy highlighted for crabbers. You get weird debris like tree branches and leaves back there like a fresh water stream. Very few snappers and jellyfish back there late summer in particular which is very odd.
If I had some money to bet, I would bet the source of the Navesink pollution is west of the Front Street bridge.
