EPA’s BEACH Program: 2005 Swimming Season Update
Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
“For the 2005 swimming season, all of the thirty coastal states and five territories reported public notification actions to EPA. The data show that only four percent of beach days were lost due to advisory or closures triggered by monitoring. Even then, most actions were of relatively short duration (see Figure 2). Of the 4,025 beaches that were monitored in 2005, 1,109 or 28 percent had at least one advisory or closing during the 2005 season (Figure 3). A total of 5,540 beach notification actions were reported.”
