Keep out! Sewage contaminated water. Exposure may cause illness.

Tell ye tales here...

Tourist kid, speaking to a local after swimming in sewage contaminated water: "I swam in the water. Am I going to die?"

Advisories vs Closures

Advisories are precautionary warnings, but no signs are put up. Closures...well, you know what those are. Read more detailed info on advisories and closures.

Question!

I would like to know how to find out how many beach closures there have been each year in IB for the past decade and create a data visualization. Does the County of San Diego have an open data set that I can use?

Resources

• County of San Diego Beach Water Quality
• San Diego Coastkeeper (their volunteers test H20 quality since the county doesn't always have the resources to do so)
• Plume Tracker
