Surfrider Foundation's Water Quality Goals for Monitoring
- Surfrider Foundation's Water Quality Goals for Monitoring: 1) Uniform statewide ocean water quality standards. 2) At a minimum, uniform monitoring that measures for total coliform, fecal coliform, and enterococcus (bacteriological indicators) on a daily basis, and ideally a real time response (i.e. accurate and up to date reporting and posting of beach closure data). 3) A uniform monitoring program that measures for toxins, heavy metals, viruses, and other harmful pollutants. 4) Regular reporting on water quality history, including analysis of patterns and trends. 5) Public education about actions that affect water quality.
