An annual “Beach Report Card” released Wednesday concludes historic winter precipitation in California is resulting in high rates of runoff and dirtier water along the coast.
In the last survey, 51 beaches made the Honor Roll. The environmental nonprofit surveys more than 500 beaches and assigns letter grades, A-plus through F. “This year, record precipitation produced major impacts on water quality across Coastal California,” said Tracy Quinn, CEO of Heal the Bay. “Now more than ever, we must prioritize multi-benefit projects to manage stormwater as both a water quality and supply solution, all while ensuring that the public is kept informed of risks to public health.”
