Manzanita seawater

My wife & I spent a nice weekend in Manzanita.  As promised in a recent thread, I brought home a sample of seawater to test the parameters.  This sample was taken in about 1 foot deep shore break, and not near any streams or sewage runoff.  Here's what I found:

Salinity: 1.024
Alkalinity:  6.8 dKH
Calcium:  300 ppm
Nitrate:  0 ppm
Phosphate:  0.01 ppm

I also shot some video of this cool little barnacle colony in a small tide pool.  It's so fun to see them in action:

Lastly, if you're ever in Manzanita and like cocktails and/or scotch & bourbon, check out MacGregor's Whiskey Bar on Laneda St.  It's a tiny place, but fun and has a good collection to choose from!
