LOS ANGELES â When the research vessel Sally Ride set sail for Santa Catalina Island to map an underwater graveyard of DDT waste barrels, its crew had high hopes of documenting for the first time just how many corroded containers littered the seafloor off the coast of Los Angeles.

The dumpsite it turned out, was much, much bigger than expected. After spending two weeks surveying a swath of seafloor larger than the city of San Francisco, the scientists could find no end to the dumping ground. They couldâve kept going in any direction, they said, and uncovered even more.

The former homeport to one of the U.S. government’s oldest survey vessels is scheduled for a long-overdue makeover.
