Happyscraper the ocean has become the "dump". Santa Monica Bay is where most people in the Los Angeles area go to the beach at. If you were to draw a line from Point Dume (just north of Malibu) to Palos Verdes everything to the east of that line, would be Santa Monica Bay. Now take a boat from Marina Del Rey and go straight west to that imaginary line, you will find what I call "The Scum Line". Not a pretty post card!
