The good news at Lake Merritt:
hundreds of young crabs and an increased number of topsmelt fish, striped bass
and bat rays have been sighted recently, and a newly repaired aeration unit
near the pergola has resulted in a sweeter-smelling environment. “It’s all an
indication that the water is doing fairly well,” says Lake Merritt Institute
executive director James Robinson.
The not-so-good news: twenty or
so electric Lime rental scooters have been fished out of the lake by James and
his intrepid volunteer crew over the last few months.
