It’s the 4th of July weekend. It’s hot. And the ocean is calling. But what price are you willing to pay for a refreshing dip? Bacteria levels just south of Santa Monica pier were high enough to warrant swim advisories at the end of June, and other beaches are even dirtier. It’s the result of storm-water runoff and bureaucratic log jams, but it could be changing in years to come. Joining us to talk about water quality this weekend and into the future is Kirsten James, Science and Policy Director for Water Quality at Heal the Bay.
