NOAA Comes To Town

I see some officials from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were in town yesterday. They were checking out all things Humboldt Bay, including the oysters.

One of the photos accompanying the article shows the manager of Coast Seafoods offering an oyster to NOAA Director, Margaret Davidson. Hmmm...I would think Ms. Davidson would be aware of dioxin contamination in the bay. Aren't the oysters supposedly contaminated?

Maybe the contamination isn't as bad as some make it out to be and she knows the oysters are safe to eat?

Then again, no mention in the story of whether she accepted the oyster and ate it.
