The Laguna Beach Surfrider chapter is looking for volunteers to test
ocean water at their favorite beach for bacteria this summer. Test
results will be posted in local businesses.
Volunteers are not required to live in Laguna Beach, and people of
all ages are encouraged to participate. High school students,
including incoming freshmen, will earn community service hours for
participating in the program.
Testing takes about 30 minutes once a week, and will be done at
31973 S. Coast Highway, adjacent to Thousand Steps Beach.
Those interested should contact Marshall Thomas at (949) 415-0417.
The program will begin with training at 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 27. .
For more information, contact Rick Wilson at rwilson@surfrider.org.
