About Us

Who We Are

The State Departments of Ecology and Health work together with county environmental health and surface water departments, tribal nations, non-profit organizations, and volunteers to help protect people who play in saltwater. Funding for the program is provided by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
