Wow! Teamwork between the State Department of Health and Surfrider Foundation to help keep our beaches clean and safe.  What a pleasant and welcome surprise.  Great article Nathan and congratulations to the Stuart Yamada, the Chief of the State's Environmental Management Division and Stuart Coleman of Surfrider Foundation for their initiative.   (Hopefully the State'c Clean Water Branch folks did more than than just "confirm seeing people throwing buckets of excrement into the ocean" when they witnessed it happening.)
