Beach Water Quality Monitoring System: “This partnership effort between Earth 911, and participating states and communities will provide you with specific information regarding the most recent water quality conditions at your local beaches. You will also be given access to community-specific actions that you can take to help keep local beaches, coastal waters, and lakes, streams, and rivers clean and safe. This application is currently being expanded in several communities and will soon be available nationwide.”
