- There was a report of an estimated 13,000 gallons of raw untreated sewage dumped into dog beach. It was only until the next day when they posted signs saying that the water was contaminated and was off limtis. You can get more information by clicking on the link above, or any newcasting website. It was perfect timing for this to happen. It was a good thing and a bad thing because on the good side it was perfect timing since we were testing the water that day which one help our results tremendously. On the down side, it was bad also because of the people who go to the beach almost daily and surf, hang out, relax, get a tan, and mostly the dogs who love playing in the water. It ties into our work for Media Saves the Beach because we will be testing various beaches water contaminents and see how dirty or clean the water is. When we tested the water it was pretty bad affecting not just see life but affecting people who love the beach.
