Hello, 

The Maine Healthy Beaches Program has a Bacteria Fact Sheet and we are
currently working on a one-page Advisory Fact Sheet. 

Please let me know if I may send you a copy. Also, check out our website

Best,

Subject: BEACHNET==> Beach monitoring fact sheets

Hi,

I coordinate a volunteer beach water quality monitoring program for the
Surfrider Foundation.  I'm in the process of preparing a 'starter kit'
for
chapters that are considering starting water testing that has very basic
information on what is involved, methods, costs, etc....

I would like to include a fact sheet to explain why we test for
indicator
bacteria and what the data might mean.  Before I write up my own, I
thought
I would check and see if anyone has any that they could recommend to me.
I
like the information posted at URI's Watershed Watch website
http://www.uri.edu/ce/wq/ww/Publications/Bacteria.pdf
But it was written before the state started using the Entercoccus std.

Does anyone know of any fact sheets/hand outs that might fit the bill?
Most
of our chapters are concerned with marine beach water quality and storm
drains that discharge onto beaches.

Thanks,
