I agree, numbered oranges (magic marker),
float just below the surface and are minimally affected by wind.

Thank you Barry for recommending the information from
the
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

Dear Mr. Boria,
Thank you for
contacting the Bureau of Environmental Health of the Ohio Department of Health.
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,
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.

Lake/Stream Currents
Does anyone have experience or suggestions
for evaluating the role that
lake currents play in transporting contaminants towards beach areas? I'm
especially interested on evaluating currents from streams that discharge
near beaches? I'm thinking about using tracers of some sort in the
streams to determine how stream flow interacts with lake currents along
shore. Information on methods (especially low cost ones) would be
appreciated.
