Objectives: (1) Expansion of this monitoring program will include: a) use of improved indicators to index changes in the microbial quality of the beach water including sensitive gene probe technologies to discriminate between human and animal sources of fecal pollution; and b) development of a facile method for the detection of pathogenic E. coli 157:H7 C. Application of sensitive tests for the detection of the pathogens Giardia, Cryptosporidia, and Salmonella. (2) Determination of the correlations between microbial indicator data, occurrence of pathogens, and meteorological, physical and water quality data collected by remote monitoring stations. (3) Consideration of mathematical constructs for modeling pathogen occurrence. (4) Development of innovative partnerships with community groups and agencies to facilitate dissemination of water quality data and beach closure decisions, including construction of a water quality World Wide Web database with dynamic query capacity for the public.
