The BWTF program is designed to verify water quality in the coastal Rincón area by testing for fecal bacteria contamination on a continuing weekly basis at popular swimming and surfing beaches. As more data is collected during the program attempts will be made to identify the source(s) of this contamination and to recommend steps to alleviate this problem. Certainly in the larger view the program seeks to educate the public about the potential health hazards of water pollution, and to collaborate with other environmental and community groups about these issues.
