What You Can Do to Reduce Beach Water Pollution

"Individuals can also help clean up beach pollution. Simple measures such as conserving water, redirecting runoff from roofs and driveways to lawns and gardens, using natural fertilizers such as compost for gardens, maintaining septic systems and properly disposing of household toxics, used motor oil and boating wastes can reduce the amount of pollution that enters coastal waters." ( Excerpt from the Summary of "Testing the Waters," Volume 12, from the Natural Resources Defense Council at http://nrdc.org/water/oceans/nttw.asp )
