Experts sound alarm about hazards of fishing in the bay during algal bloom 
By Margaret Hetherwick US Source: The Examiner 8/31/2022

Should you fish in the bay right now? Officials are unsure — but you probably shouldn’t be touching the water.

A harmful algal bloom has spread across San Francisco Bay, causing a massive die-off of fish and potentially hazardous conditions for humans and pets coming into contact with the water.

It’s not considered toxic to humans, but caution is key if you’re thinking about dropping a line or taking a dip this weekend.
 

“We recommend that people steer clear of fishing and recreation, because we don’t know for sure what’s causing the bloom,” said Miyoko Sakashita, oceans director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “It could cause rashes or infections, which just does not make fishing worth it.”
