We did a quick photo essay on some of the easier to access beaches along the Gaviota Coast in our Edhat.com column today. This was inspired by a reader commenting on the Caltrans crew putting up guardrails along the Southbound side of the 101. Although Caltrans is installing many hundreds of yards of guardrails we didn't see a whole lot of access cutoff.
We didn't get a whole lot of bites on our comments on the shark incidents in North County and Campus Point but we do have one link to a shark being caught, tagged, and released and a site called The Fear Beneath with some more good fear mongering, followed by a post disputing the details. In shark related news your Santa Barbara City Council has been hard at work this week, establishing next week as Sea Otter Awareness Week. Don't forget about the Surfrider Foundation paddle out this Saturday at Stearns Wharf at 11am.
The kids are back in school and the NSSA contests have started up again. They had three contests down in Oxnard and here are how how the locals placed:
