@9 is correct. But we knew that.

This article doesn't say what kind of oysters are dying, though I suspect it's all varieties. One of the biggest Olympia oyster breeding projects is also in Netarts Bay, but this is about the hatchery, which I believe grows all kinds from the description in the article.

It's interesting that we're hearing about this from the Oregon coast, which is where the reports of unusual deep water upwelling have also come from, in addition to the wind events they're talking about, and from Willapa Bay, which is close to Oregon. Have they noticed this die-off in Puget Sound? The article doesn't say.

Cold, acidic deep water upwelling is very obviously a climate-change event, and scares me quite a bit.

It would be really interesting if climate change drives growth in Olympia oysters' comeback. The little buggers have already proven they like polluted water.

The coast guard would rather sink ships then tow them to port and chop them up.
