Test Results: Water in Channel Islands Harbor Not Hazardous to Human Health
Oxnard, California – The bacteriological tests are in. The water in the Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard is not hazardous to human health, according to results received by the Oxnard Public Works Department.
The bacteriological tests looked for total coliform, E. coli and enterococcus. The city has not yet received test results for the presence of nitrogen and phosphorus–nutrients that encourage algae growth.
On June 18, within 24 hours of receiving a call about odor and discoloration in Harbor waters, the city collected water samples at five locations in the Harbor and Edison Canal area.
Samples were taken at the Channel Islands Harbor inlet, along South Harbor Boulevard; near West Channel Islands Boulevard bridge; along West Hemlock Street; the Edison Canal near the Edison Trash Collector; and near West Fifth Street bridge.
The city also took samples at various locations during low tide and high tide.
Residents are encouraged to report any odors or discoloration in Harbor waters by calling 805-797-7598.

The video below was shot by Chris Eccles :
“The video is Seabridge Marina. The die off is also happening in Mandalay. The smell is is the dead fish. I know because I worked in Ventura Harbor during a major die off some years ago as well and it was enough to make me dry heave. The fish oil coating the boats was an inch thick at the water line. There has been a red tide brought on by the lack of circulation. Have you ever seen a shallow fresh water pond or lake? Green soup? This is going to be the norm. Just wait until the winter rains. The harbor is the drain for all the city run off and the run off from the fields will make these conditions pale in comparison.“

Neighborhood Councils
The neighborhood councils serve as an outlet for Oxnard residents to work together to improve the quality of life in Oxnard by making each of their neighborhoods a cleaner, safer, better place to live.
There are 43 pre-defined neighborhoods in Oxnard. Currently, there are a total of 33 active neighborhood councils. The City of Oxnard’s goal is for all neighborhoods to have an active neighborhood council.
Neighborhood councils are open to all Oxnard residents ages 18 and older.
Participants coordinate at the neighborhood level. Residents in pre-defined neighborhoods are responsible for establishing neighborhood councils and electing a chairperson to represent their neighborhood at the Inter-Neighborhood Council Organization forum.
Residents in many neighborhoods are saying NO to graffiti, crime and trash by participating in neighborhood patrols. At the same time, residents are saying YES to working with the City to perform neighborhood cleanups, spearhead beautification projects and address code compliance issues. The collaborative efforts of neighborhood councils and the City have decreased crime and graffiti, removed blight and decay and improved the appearance of our City.
