I'm John Batchel to Jeff Bliss is Pacific Watch, Los Angeles.

Jeff, a very good evening to you. After the fires, the arguments.

You send me a photograph of what you identify as a toxic soup off of Malibu.

What am I looking at, Jeff?

Good evening to you.

Good evening, John.

After we had these massive wildfires, particularly in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu area, which is a land area that

water. And so what you have is you have this toxic patch of pollution. It's just black. It's, you know,

of toxic materials. They're very concerned about the beaches and certainly about the marine life and the life

on the land around it, the wildlife on the land and plants. They think this is going to have much

larger ramifications than just the structures and the woodlands that were burned during the fires.
