Thank you to Monica at ZunaSurf for the continual updates!

Reports are that Ocean Beach is looking better (at least before high tide), but that oil has been spotted on Pacifica beaches (Esplanade and Sharp Park). We again strongly advise against surfing until water quality tests have been conducted and reported.

Per Natalie Pepper, much washed up yesterdy. Today, some of it is very thin and hard to pick up.
Contact People's Store for more info or you can contact her (415.302.7712) to help out.
Or post on the Bolinas area at our oil blog at zunasurf.wordpress.com.

Community effort and outrage led to government response. Thank you all!
