Test Results

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that our latest result for E. Coli levels around Bellingham are in. All the bacteria levels are pretty low, but there is still bacteria in the water so it's important to wash your hands and rinse off really well after being in the water (if anyone is crazy enough to get in it with this weather!) The season for high bacteria, summer, is almost (hopefully) here so it's super important to keep up good management practices, like picking up after your pets! Stay tuned for next month's results and alerts for dangerous levels. See full results here: http://www.surfrider.org/blue-water-task-force/chapter/5

P.S. There will be an informational session about the Gateway Pacific Coal Terminal tomorrow night at the The Bellingham Public Library, 210 Central Avenue 7-9pm. Come learn about the proposed project and how it will affect the environment and out health in Whatcom County.
