Local Authorities Often Don't Know What's Polluting Local Beaches
- "Local authorities often don't know the sources of bacteria and other pollution tainting water near beaches... 7,208 closings and advisories -- or 54 percent of [2001's] total -- were attributed to unknown sources, underscoring the need for officials to work harder at finding and cleaning up pollution sources." - excerpt from the Natural Resources Defense Council, "Testing the Waters, Vol. 12" at http://www.nrdc.org/water/oceans/nttw.asp
