That's great, SerengetiGuide - thanks for sharing your perspective. What about your data? What is negative? From what? PAHs, diesel, or what?

As of December all the clam samples had come back negative for toxins from diesel spill. Maybe January ones were positive but highly doubt it. also, Didn't see a single sheen in gale creek lagoon.
