Effects of post-event event effluent on sea fishing

[Grumpy Grandpa]

In my own situation, I may be limited to the shoreline - beach casting and collecting shellfish. It's the shellfish that concern me most, I think. They're susceptible to algal blooms for example, aren't they? During such times do they not become a wee bit dangerous to eat?

As for effluent, I never did get round to studying shit in detail but surely there must be some toxins or other unpleasantness involved that could be retained by shellfish?

I suppose it's the uncertainty that's the real problem...
