87 Beaches closed on Long Island from Contaminated Storm Water
Ξ August 22nd, 2007 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Pollution News, New York |
Apparently due to heavy rains, the shoreline of Long Island has become contaminated with bacteria filled storm water runoff. 87 beaches in Suffolk and Nassau counties have been closed.
No mention of how to fix the problem or what caused it. Increased beach closings is an unfortunate side effect of increased Stormwater pollution. Regrettably, once beaches are being closed, it’s already too late to do anything about it.
