Water Testing with the Surfrider Foundation

It was a calm and beautiful morning (except for the bugs) when Surfriders' Andy Marshall showed up at Playalinda to school Ryan (Indiums' singer) on how to TEST THE OCEAN WATER for nasties. This first test is one of four that will be performed each year at Playalinda Beach. Three other locations on Brevard County Beaches will also be tested 4 times a year. The SEBASTIAN INLET SURFRIDER CHAPTER (covering all of Brevard county) has been working towards this goal for a couple of years.

Many thanks go out to all involved including the volunteers, sponsors, and people who show up at the fundraisers...."We" did it!

EVREC will be posting the results as they arrive back from the lab.
