Online beach closure and water contamination nationwide

[Leo Nguyen]

Whether we're fishing at the salt or in the fresh water, there's always some kind of live notification via the web system, indicating how contaminated the water may be for body-to-water contact. Just sharing with you something that you may like to keep for reference, when you decide to take your family to a freshwater/saltwater beach. The site covers the entire coastal region of the US. Sorry folks, but agencies within the inland states are not providing much info for the system to be updated with. Good to know why your skins/eyes/throat/mouth suddenly develop rashes a few days later that you can't seem to knock them out using over the counter medication and with time.
