Our BWTF program is focused on supplementing the testing that the County of Ventura conducts as a part of its Ocean Water Quality Testing Program. Currently, the county-led program tests less samples in the winter than in the summer; our program aims to fill the gap and serve as the first response to local water quality threats in our community. Specifically, we are focused on taking samples from 10 popular surf spots that are not tested by the County during winter months. Please note that our season runs November through March. We do not test water quality April through October because the County of Ventura resumes testing at 40 beaches. Visit our program's page on our website for more information and to sign-up: https://ventura.surfrider.org/programs/blue-water-task-force
