Monterey seriously smells like the drying anchovies of my childhood. That’s because it’s nature’s dried anchovies (tons of them on the beaches now). Not only is this smell a happy childhood memory, it makes me happy to know the animals here are getting fed in this anchovy feast
Photos: Massive numbers of anchovies show up in Monterey.
Massive numbers of anchovies show up in Monterey docks beaches and harbors, but the reason remains a mystery, tied to upwelling and ocean cycles

The link says MBARI sent ROVs into the water and even with light, could not see anything because of how many anchovies there are
