Subject: ATTN: Corona Del Mar swimmers A possible concern was brought to my attention today by someone who works near the CDM swim area. There are a large amount of transient boaters who moor their boats just outside the swim area. Many of those boats have people residing on the boats. A large amount of those boats NEVER move from their mooring. So, where are they dumping their waste??
There is a concern by the folks who work in the area that the transient residence are simply dumping where they are and are not using the appropriate pumping sites.
The city apparently doesn not have an ordinace to prohibit the long term moorings so there's not much the County's Harbor Patrol can do.
There may not be an issued at all. But from someone who is there every day and never sees those boats move there was some concern about waste.
My concern is the bacteria level may be unhealthy. I don't know who you can call to test the water but I thought I would let you know.
Just an FYI.
