Pollution of Beaches

According to U.S Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) a number of beaches are not safe for swimming because of pollution mainly from sewage and storm water systems. Elevated bacteria levels from sources like boat discharge (in fact, human discharge) or wildlife are threatening public health as well. As a result dysentry, hepatitis (which can be very fatal to many), respiratory problems are being reported from the beachgoers. At the same time careless urban sprawl in coastal areas is devouring wetlands and natural buffers like beach grass which normally works as filter for dangerous pollution. Now you need to ask before swimming, "Is the beachwater safe for swimming". In fact, it`s not only a case in US, countries like Brazil and India where reckless attitude of tourists create more pollution than normal, environment industries now need to have a close look before it is alarmingly high!!
