A boat beached on the California coast has become the site of an unusually foul cleanup. According to Bruce Schneier's blog, an estimated 30 to 50 tons of dead squid are still inside the vessel's catch tank, where they have been decomposing for days. The sheer volume of rotting marine life has made the situation both a logistical and sensory challenge.
Commercial fisherman Dick Ogg of the Bodega Bay Fishermen's Marketing Association described the task bluntly: "That is nasty. I wouldn't want to do that." The quote underscores the difficulty facing whoever is tasked with removing the decaying cargo. The source provides no further details on the boat's condition, the cause of the beaching, or the planned cleanup method.
