Typical Ocean Water Monitoring Only Tests for Bacteria
- "It is important to understand that the typical ocean water monitoring program used by Orange County, CA and most other municipalities consists only of tests for total coliform, fecal coliform, and enterococcus bacteria. No tests for viruses, hydrocarbons, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, metals, or other pollutants are routinely performed." - excerpt from Surfrider's Coastal A-Z web page entitled, Health Threats From Polluted Coastal Waters.
