The Blue Water Task Force (BWTF) is Surfrider’s volunteer water quality monitoring program that provides critical water quality information to protect public health at the beach. We measure fecal indicator bacteria levels and compare them to public health standards for recreational waters. Surfrider chapters use this program to raise awareness of local pollution problems and to bring together communities to implement solutions.
The Space Coast BWTF supplements beach water testing performed by the Florida Healthy Beaches Program to provide year-round water quality information. View all swim advisories issued by the state and stay informed about the current water quality conditions at your favorite beaches. With the Space Coast BWTF and the Florida Healthy Beaches Program working together, you can trust that you are getting comprehensive and accurate information to make the best decisions for your health and enjoyment. Don't let pollution ruin your beach experience - take control and join us in protecting our precious coastal resources.
