Bacteria found at California beaches

By Nathan Wade -- pending replacement | Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 10:15 AM

Given the cost of travel these days, you might want to read this and rethink that vacation to the California beaches.

The National Resources Defense Council says it tested for the bacteria found in human and animal waste at 75 percent of California’s public beaches from April through October 2007.

It found unhealthy levels of bacteria at seven percent of those beaches. The worst offenders are at Catalina Island and Santa Monica.
