A strange flotilla of flotsam in the bay, seen on Wednesday just off of the fishing pier near Crissy Field (a.k.a Torpedo Wharf).

A gull kept landing on it, pecking at it, and maybe even eating some of it.

I couldn't tell whether it was plastic or something else. Some parts seem to be transparent, with fibrous material within, suggesting garbage bags.

Congress is expected to vote on a Republican resolution to reverse endangered species protections for the Bay's Longfin Smelt--and it could set a dangerous precedent.

“Generally we’re seeing an all-out assault on the #EndangeredSpeciesAct and protections like it,” said Cameron Walkup at @Earthjustice which opposes the resolution along with Baykeeper and several other of our partners. Walkup called the Congressional Review Act “an undemocratic, scorched-earth policy (that) makes it so a bare majority in Congress can overturn any law.” sfchronicle.com/climate/articl
