The Blue Water Task Force (BWTF) is the Surfrider
Foundation’s water quality monitoring, education and advocacy program. It
is utilized by our Chapters and members to alert citizens and officials in
their communities about water quality problems and to work toward solutions.
BWTF has demonstrated success by raising public awareness of coastal water
pollution levels and precipitating the establishment of state and local
government water quality monitoring programs in many communities where the
program has been implemented.
BWTF was established with the following objectives:
-
to provide concerned citizens with the opportunity for hands-on involvement
with an environmental problem solving effort;
-
to gather coastal water samples on a regular basis to determine pollution
patterns in the near shore environment;
-
to raise public awareness regarding the extent and severity of coastal water
pollution;
-
to use the data collected to bring polluters into compliance; and
-
to develop a model program that could influence national legislation and
enforcement.
