| Description | The BEACH Program is an ongoing monitoring and notification program throughout Puget Sound and the coast of Washington State. Saltwater recreational beaches are tested for enterococci bacteria to determine possible health risk to the public from water-contact recreation. Bacteria data from 51 consistently monitored beaches were analyzed to determine if there were any long-term trends in beach water quality based on summer bacteria data from 2003 through 2014. Results indicate that the consistently monitored beaches overall show no significant bacteria trends in water quality for the period tested. Individual beaches were tested for bacteria trends over time and showed mixed results. | ||||
