Heal the Bay’s Annual Beach Report Card was released Wednesday, June 14.
Water quality along Los Angeles County’s coast, according to Heal the Bay’s annual Beach Report Card, was a mixed bag this year, reflecting a statewide trend — though there was some good news.
That’s because Los Angeles County scored high in that category. About 94% of the beaches in the county, the report said, received A and B grades, though that was one percentage point lower than the statewide average. But the county’s coastline, like the state in general, didn’t fare so well in the wet weather category — largely because of this winter’s deluge and a series of sewage spills in the region.
On top of water quality issues caused by the heavy rains, there were 95 sewage spills throughout LA County over the past year — adding up to about 330,000 gallons of waste that leaked into the region’s waterways. Manhattan, Surfrider, Dockweiler State and Venice beaches, along with the Santa Monica Pier, also received the lowest scores for wet weather.
