State of the Bay report: CBF gives it a D+

While it's better than two years ago, when flooding brought a surge of agricultural chemicals into the estuary, things continue to be grim for the Bay, and overall things are worse this year than last. Rockfish used to be a success story, didn't it? I guess not so much anymore, after water quality continues to decline; I would have hoped that the pandemic might have cut into the emissions produced. Maybe it's too early to see impacts like this: the press release makes some reference to changes as of 2017.
