Will this at all help Shoreline park smell better? :)

The most abundant areas for life around us are in our wetlands. Much of this life (small bugs, worms shrimp, fish and such)is food for other life, and booms in the spring to feed the myriad of species that depends on it. After the boom there is death, usually during the hottest months of the year. So much life = so much death so yes, wetlands in warmer climates will be stinky at times. The easy answer is to go at high tide. That usually takes care of it.

Another way to avoid the stink at Shoreline is don’t go to Shoreline.

These marshlands are truly marvelous and I hope the continued restoration continues to serve as a model nationwide.

BTW Canada geese poop isn’t really all that stinky. More of a “watch where you step” thing.
