During beach haven nj pet friendly vacation rentals the Nov. 26 meeting of the La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. (LJP B) city advisory group, beach haven nj pet friendly vacation rentals retired attorney Mark Evans, the community's point person on the stench emanating from La Jolla Cove, offered an update on the situation.
Several companies have come orward to suggest spraying the rocks with their organic, non-toxic solvents as a means of breaking down the seabird guano and eliminating the odor, though environmental and bureaucratic regulations have thus far precluded the products' use. La Jolla Cove is designated as an Area of Special Biological Significance by the state.
"We have to find somewhere, someplace that is suitable to test these products that is not as environmentally sensitive as La Jolla Cove," Evans said. "We've also tried to find some agency, probably in the county, that's equipped and willing to test the air quality.
Some have suggested sandblasting the rocks with a containment mechanism to assure that nothing goes back in the ocean. Others have suggested collecting or "harvesting" the guano for sale as fertilizer.
beach haven nj pet friendly vacation rentals Evans said he hopes Mayor Bob Filner will urge city staff to be "super helpful" in finding a solution to the problem. Both Filner and state Senator-elect Marty Block were taken on "a smelling tour" of the Cove by La Jolla Village Merchants Association board President Phil Coller, during which Evans said Filner apparently became nauseated.
Weiss, a former member of the La Jolla Community Planning Association and La Jolla Town Council, has participated in discussions on the issue involving city officials and other stakeholders, such as the California Coastal Commission and the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Weiss told La Jolla Light his major observation is that the noxious odor is caused by a lack of oxygen permeating the layers of excrement. This absence of oxygen allows bacteria to thrive, producing ammonia and other gasses.
A fence that was erected in the 1990s to prevent people from traversing on the Cove rocks and injuring themselves or further eroding them, created a human-free zone for the birds to roost, Merryweather said.
"I think we can ask (that the fence be removed) and let everybody back out on the bluffs and just travel at your own risk," beach haven nj pet friendly vacation rentals she said. "Once people are back on the bluffs, the birds won't be there and the nightmare will be over."
