L.A. County Beaches Report Card: Interactive Map

How did your favorite beach score?

The following is a water quality report from July 29 to Aug. 29 compiled from data courtesy of Heal the Bay, a nonprofit environmental group.

Grades are based on an A to F scale. Grades indicate the likelihood of swimmers becoming ill. Water samples are analyzed for bacteria – enterococcus, total and fecal coliforms. The report does not measure the amount of trash or toxins found at local beaches.

Dark Blue Marker = A+

Light Blue Marker = A

Green Marker = B

Yellow Marker = C

Pink = D

Red Marker = F

Purple Marker = No sample taken

Does anyone on the Malibu City Council have the slighest concerns about the continuing failing beach grades 50 yrds south of the Malibu Pier? The City Council was so up in arms about the possiblility of the Lagoon dewatering discharges affecting Public Health Concerns but does not seem concerned about investigating documented evidence of pollution just yrds away from one of the most famous surf spots in the world. Surfers are still getting staph, as well as other serious infections at Surfrider. I guess if pollution doesn't come from the Lagoon Restoration Project it is okay for pollution to spew into the ocean?

Does anyone know where to find test results for toxins and anything else not good for children to be exposed to through swimming at our local beaches, that are not included in the Heal the bay tests for bacteria?

Hi, we have noticed the oil becoming more dense on the sands of Playa Del Rey, is there a clean-up happening before the upcoming peak summer months? Much of the sand is black from oil, and we get oil clumps stuck to our feet so we have to wear disposable old socks :-( Is Chevron refinery responsible for the oil, can we force them to clean-up?

Thank Glenn E. Grab for taking the time to send an answer. I agree with you, it would be blue IRead More think. I would like to hear from someone who has the same problem, there are hundreds of boats with this spray. Now having said this, we have now come up with a more rational reason. It's the pollen, not bee pollen, but tree pollen. Makes sense as it does only happen once a year. Searching for answers, this makes a little better sense.
