NRDC Offers Free Guide to Water Quality at U.S. Beaches
Heading to the Beach? See if it’s Safe
Could swimming at your favorite beach be hazardous to your health? Before you head off on that late-summer trip, let NRDC’s annual Testing the Waters report help you choose a clean shoreline to enjoy.
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) rated more than 100 of the most popular beaches in the country based on their water quality, their efforts to keep clean, and steps they take to warn the public of any contamination problems. See if you might be swimming in troubled waters and share comments about your favorite beaches at YourOceans.org.
To view their free guide, go to the Issues: Oceans page at their site. At the right of their screen they allow you to download the full report in PDF format. But I suggest you check out the links below it first, which include the Table of Contents and the Individual States. It’s easier to find what you want that way.
The NRDC “works to protect wildlife and wild places, and to ensure a healthy environment for all life on earth.” To learn more about them and to find lots of “green” resources and tips, visit their home page at http://www.nrdc.org/
