la county beaches: worst in water quality in california

AP) LOS ANGELES Heal the Bay’s annual end-of-summer beach report card is out and once again Los Angeles County has the state’s worst beach water quality.

And the county’s biggest loser is Long Beach. Heal the Bay executive director Mark Gold says Long Beach traditionally scores well during the summer months. But this year only 12 percent of the water samples taken in the area got high clean-water marks in comparison to 91 percent last year. City officials say part of the problem may have been a leaking pump station used by several boats.

and guess what the worst beach in long beach is? yep, mother’s beach, which is the beach for, yep… marine stadium. this morning on the local news they even showed footage of a boat going around marine stadium with a wakeboarder… i swear it was my boat =p anyway, looks like i’m done wakeboarding (at least there) for the year. hopefully they’ll’ve cleaned up by the time late spring rolls around.
