For 25 Coastal States/Territories, Surfrider's STATE OF THE BEACH Publication Reports on 8 Beach Health Indicators

"For this report, Surfrider investigated the amount of available information and the status for the following beach health indicators: beach access, surf zone water quality, beach erosion, beach fill, shoreline structures, erosion response, beach ecology and surfing areas for 25 states and territories. These categories are important indicators of coastal environmental health and coastal recreational opportunities. We also included a review of the coastal zone management program websites to evaluate the effectiveness of this tool for providing information." - excerpt from this Surfrider Foundation's State of the Beach report web page
