Pollution Source Tracking Technologies - Pollution source tracking is the study of the origin of contamination in the environment. A complete approach to source tracking will promote action to eliminate the contamination at its source to restore water quality conditions and improve human and environmental health. This article describes the most commonly used methods that are used to determine the sources of fecal pollution in recreational waterways, and includes a discussion of their general cost and accessibility.

Today's Coastal Factoid
Positive feedback loop in the Antarctic, but in a bad way. "New research has uncovered a feedback loop that may be accelerating the melting of the floating portions of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet... 'this deep current conveying warm waters toward the ice shelves is driven by the very same ice shelf melting that such warm waters cause.'" - Excerpt from University of Southampton

Beachapedia tries to capture decades of experience and knowledge gained by Surfrider Foundation activists, scientists and staff through hundreds of environmental and educational campaigns on our coasts. By sharing this resource with the public we hope to provide tools and information to help communities make a positive impact on their local beaches.
