Closings of beaches and shell fishing areas are results
of pathogen contamination (see figure 5).


Thanks for making my point, Bob. BEACHES have levels due to ground
contamination retention. This is not found in deeper water where we
swim. These waters are exchanged daily.
Sorry, you can't google your way around it.

Aaahahahahahahahahahaaa!!!!!!

If the pollution is all on the bottom, guess which way it flows?

The longitudinal salinity and associated density gradient that exists
throughout the year drives an estuarine circulation, where water flows
eastward near the surface and westward near the bottom (Riley, 1956; Wilson,
1976). Using data from 28 current meter moorings located 2 m above the
bottom, Gordon and Pilbeam (1975) calculated an average westward bottom flow
of about 5-10 cm/s.

Looks like the crap on the bottom flows westward. Toward City Island!
