    Good post, Mkizla. I've moved the thead to the Environmental forum.

    This thread hits home with me, as I live relatively close to Hollywood Beach, in S. FL. This beach is notorious for bacteria in the water year-round, as there are several sewage effluents not 100 yards offshore.

    I fear that as time goes on, this could get worse before it gets better. That is, IF it gets better. :-/
