Ocean changed at White Rock
« on: October 18, 2014, 10:43:49 AM »
Hi,

This is my fourth year at White Rock, BC. I have noticed some changes this year compare to the previous three years:
1. Eelgrass turned to green much later.
2. Clam holes on the beach are much fewer.
3. Crabs came to the dock three weeks later than before. They were much fewer.
4. There are no flounders come to the shore now.
5. Bullheads are much fewer than before.

Have you noticed the same thing?
Thanks.

Its a very polluted area of the pacific sadly I am not surprised, its notorious for red tide issues, and all the ferry / boat traffic.

For the supreme test of a fisherman is not how many fish he has caught, not even how he has caught them, but what he has caught when he has caught no fish.

Or it could be a sign of overexploitation or rampant poaching... at least for the last 4 observations.
