*gasp* not safe to swim??

"The state has funded the program since 1999.
Thousands of people visit San Diego beaches each year.
The ocean testing helps alert swimmers when it's not safe to swim."

This is a small excerpt from "state resumes paying for beach water testing in San Diego county". you can read the entire article at http://www.kpbs.org/news/2009/jul/10/state-resumes-paying-beach-water-testing-san-diego/.

This article does not actually tell you any information about how horrible the water actually is. It is not giving us actual statistics. This article is just telling us the bare minimum, its trying to conceal the truth about how bad the water actually us. 'This definitely relates to our class because we are learning about how to test the water and get the actual amount of bacteria in the beach water. This is basically what we will be doing for our Media Saves the Beach project.
