Thank you Barry for recommending the information from the Great Lakes Beach meeting in Indiana for William Boria in NY. As an update, we are still working on getting the presentations online and working to set up another webcast of the sessions. An announcement will be made soon.
Meantime, here are suggestions
the one from Dr. Alm
Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab is one group that has been looking at this: http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/
a few more suggestions:
I realize this may sound odd, but some of the simplest experiments used marked oranges.
Also, USEPA provided the beach sanitary survey--Jump to the section on currents (page 5-4), this info is attached and available at http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/beaches/sanitarysurvey/
In general, you might find helpful information in your state from the United States Geological Survey offices
ttp://ny.water.usgs.gov/
Also, I recommend reading research work from Stanley Grant from UC-Irvine. Dr. Grant has written several articles and one of his lectures was webcasted and is available online at Michigan State University
scroll down the page until you see the lectures given on April 20
April 20, 2007: Transport of Pathogens, Dr. Stanley Grant, UC-Irvine and Dr. Jeanette Thurston-Enriquez, USDA Agricultural Research Service
I hope that gets you started, Shannon

I have been asked to respond to your question on behalf for the bureau. In the short time I have been involved with the US EPA Beach grant program I have not entertained a question quite like yours. Your premise sounds intriguing but I am unaware of anyone that has made this proposal. I recently attended the Great Lakes Beach Association meeting in Porter, Indiana where I listened to many research presentations. One person that is heavily involved in that association as well as others, Dr. Shannon Briggs, I believe would be a good contact for you to address your questions. She works for the state of Michigan and runs a lab facility and program that oversees 1,000 public beaches. If she cannot help you I feel sure she can direct you to someone can. I appreciate your interest in public bathing beaches and the effort to better understand the forces that work at these beaches to the betterment of the environment and for better recreational spaces available to the public. If you have other questions please contact me at the addresses below.
