If you're going for a visit..skip the local shellfish (bleck)

Clean-up efforts for a 58,000-gallon (220,000-liter) oil spill in San Francisco Bay expanded on Sunday as federal officials assessed damage that has closed beaches, threatened the crabbing season and killed scores of birds.
The Cosco Busan container ship struck a tower of the Bay Bridge on Wednesday in fog, slashing a nearly 100 foot gash that allowed bunker fuel to spill.

"Based on the Coast Guard's preliminary investigation, there appears there was nothing mechanically wrong with the vessel," said Petty Officer Mariana O'Leary, who stopped short of saying human error was responsible.

My wife and I took some kids down to S.F. for a concert last year. It was at the new Giants stadium. A friend went for a walk to docks and what-not in the area. He said there are signs all over the place saying, "it is unhealthy to eat from this water and you can consume no more than one fish per month", or something like that!?!?? This was last year. WHY IS THIS OKAY???? Bleck indeed!!!
