Subject: | Sea Shell Moves |
Last Saturday a couple of beachcombers near the mouth of the Salinas River, on California's Monterey Bay, saw an unusual (but by no means unique) type of sea shell down by the seashore. The San Jose Mercury News reports that they marked the site of a 5-inch wide, 21-inch long naval round with driftwood and reported it to the authorities. An Army explosives expert later detonated the shell in place. (The site was about 5 miles north of Fort Ord, site of a major artillery impact area.) The shell, apparently left over from Navy firing exercises, had apparently washed ashore. The find points out the importance of considering the migration (or uncovering thorugh erosion) of unexploded ordnance when laying out long-term plans for range response.
