This is not sewage in it's original form, but recycled after it has rotted, and the nutrients and organic matter released have fueled massive growth of bacteria and algae slime. That's sort of a technical distinction, the problem is that they are not recycling the waste nutrients as fertilizer back on the land, and releasing them into the environment, where they are causing massive eutrophication. I wonder if there anybody left old enough to remember when the water in North Sound was BLUE? Best wishes, Tom
