SUPPORT BEACH PROTECTION ACT!

Please participate in the action alert below to let your federal representatives know you support enhanced water quality monitoring for ocean beaches. The BEACH Protection Act of 2007 would increase federal funding support for water quality testing and require the EPA to adopt rapid analysis methods to provide water quality data within hours of sampling. The Act would also promote actions to identify and clean up sources of pollution. In Oregon, the Act would directly support the Oregon Beach Monitoring Program, which is administered by the Department of Human Services and Dept of Environmental Quality. The program monitors beaches from Astoria to Brookings for fecal bacteria, and reports elevated levels to the public. Please let Congress know that you support the Act. After all, it's your beach!
