What State Is Your Beach In?
- "What state is your beach in? The Surfrider Foundation State of the Beach report is our annual update on the health of our nation's beaches. It is intended to empower concerned citizens and coastal managers by giving them the information needed to take action. Surfrider's State of the Beach report applies that critical "surfer's eye" to the conditions of our nation's beaches. For four years we have been collecting information in the areas of beach access, surf zone water quality, beach erosion, beach nourishment, shoreline structures, and surfing areas to get an understanding of the condition of our nation's beaches. For 21 coastal states and territories we looked at the availability of public information on these "beach health indicators" and also evaluated the status of the indicators." - excerpt from the Introduction of State of the Beach 2003, at http://www.surfrider.org/stateofthebeach
