Southern California Beach Water Quality is Improving - But There are Still Problem Areas

"Los Angeles County beach water quality continued to improve, this year by 2 percent, with 77 sites earning A and B grades. However, Avalon Beach on Catalina Island remains problematic. Avalon consistently appears on Heal the Bay’s infamous annual “Beach Bummers” list of the 10 most polluted beaches throughout California. Two additional Los Angeles County sites received poor water quality grades: the Malibu Pier (50 yards east) and inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro. This is the third consecutive summer that the Malibu Pier has suffered poor water quality, earning an F grade in this report." - excerpts from article in The Beach Reporter.
