As a Californian, this ticks me off a bit. California contains at least the TOP 3 most polluted cities in the U.S. However, we take pride in our clean waters (especially in the bay area) because it took so many years to clean them up! I know we aren't talking about pollution now but along with cleaning our waters for us, we have been trying to clean them up for all of the inhabitants of the sea, including whales. We've been trying to protect the whales, sea lions, seals, etc. for years. It certainly is a slap in the face.
