that’s what I get for believing a Reader article from 18 years ago – perhaps the article was more accurate at the time

to each their own – you still won’t see me swimming in Mission Bay and I will continue to tell my kids and guests that there are cleaner places to swim and play in the water

neither of the articles addressed tidal flushing or the circulation in the Bay other than to say that lack of circulation makes enclosed bays more of a challenge to keep clean

I threw in the offshore water quality issue because I was talking about water quality in San Diego – and no, the offshore water quality has nothing to do with Mission Bay
