What is Study of water and shellfish quality in Bolinas Lagoon and Bolinas Bay : July 1970 about?

In cooperation with the Marin County Department of Public Health, an intensive sampling program of Bolinas Lagoon and Bay was conducted to determine how extensively the receiving waters were affected by the raw sewage discharging from the Bolinas Town Site. Bacteriological samples of shellfish and receiving waters were collected in the immediate vicinity of the discharge and from the Stinson Beach State Park east of the outfall, to a point half-way between the lagoon mouth and Duxbury Point, west of the outfall. The field study began July 4, 1970 and ended July 15, 1970. Sewage solids were observed in the vicinity of the Bolinas Town discharge; on adjacent ocean beaches; and on the nearby sand islands in Bolinas Lagoon. Results of bacteriological analysis of water and shellfish confirm the presence of sewage in these areas. Both shell fishing for human consumption and water-contact sports take place in the areas found to be adversely affected by the Bolinas raw sewage discharge
