Abstract
South Carolina’s beaches are important components of the state’s tourism industry. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, in conjunction with local governments, regularly monitors coastal beaches for the bacterial indicator enterococci to assure residents and tourists that the water is safe for wading, swimming, surfing, and other activities. The program’s goal is to allow the public to make informed decisions about their ocean water recreational activities and the potential for bacteria related health effects.
