The red stuff is not actually in the bay. It is in salt evaporation ponds used by the Leslie Salt Co. The red color come from massive concentrations of planktonic organsisms known as dinoflagellates. The conditions in the ponds are perfect for their reproduction. The reddish color comes from pigments called carotenoids in the organsisms. ========================================================= grad@clovis.felton.ca.us (Mike Torok) uunet!scruz.ucsc.edu!clovis.felton.ca.us!grad Clovis in Felton, CA =========================================================
