Beach Pollution (BEACON)
The United States Environmental Protection Agency provides information about state, tribal, and territory-reported beach pollution monitoring. Polygons denoting participating agencies are mapped with Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Shorelines (GSHHS). Lines specify monitored beach areas and beach status in terms of public water quality conditions affecting the safety of swimming at those sites.
