Beach Health Indicator Info Is Limited, But Nonetheless Points to Serious Problems at the Coast

"For five years, the Surfrider Foundation has collected information on beach access, surf zone water quality, beach erosion, beach fill, shoreline structures, beach ecology and surfing areas. These beach health indicators are designed to help us evaluate the condition of our beaches and the coastal environment. Our two primary conclusions are that beach health indicator information is still very limited and that the information we do have points to serious problems that our beaches are facing." - excerpt from the Conclusions and Recommendations section of the Surfrider Foundation's 2004 State of the Beach report; excerpt found at http://www.surfrider.org/stateofthebeach/10-cn/
