A couple of years ago, two kayakers noticed something strange along the #Alameda shoreline: thousands of glittering pieces of metal poking out of the mud.

They reported their observations to our #pollution hotline, leading to a full investigation, a cleanup of more than 12,000 pounds of toxic metal trash & a plan to return this former industrial site to native plants!

Across the SF Bay, and with a 1956 #ShellOil base map, is Berkeley, Oakland, Richmond.

After a pair of kayakers discovered thousands of metal coils in the #Alameda shoreline, we investigated--and uncovered a long-forgotten toxic legacy hiding in plain sight.

Now our legal team is compelling the polluters & landowners to clean it up! https://baykeeper.org/blog/hiding-plain-sight
