Abstract

Most of us enjoy a day at the beach, but we rarely consider that recreational use of our coastal waters could impact our health. This article explores the microbiological threats of sewage discharge to our fun in the sea and proposes a simple way to make sure it’s only sand that you and your family bring home from a visit to the seaside.
