The refreshing spray of the ocean may not be as clean and pure as one might think. Scientists have recently discovered that the ocean spray is loaded with sewage bacteria, making it far from a pristine environment.
This discovery was made when scientists tested samples from different beaches in California and found high levels of fecal indicator bacteria, such as enterococci within them. This indicates that there are large amounts of human waste being washed out to sea, which then gets mixed into the waves crashing onto shorelines around the world.
It’s important to note that this doesn’t necessarily mean swimming in these waters is dangerous — most beaches still meet safety standards set by local authorities — but it does suggest we need to take better care of our oceans if we want them to remain healthy for generations to come. To do this, governments should invest more money into wastewater treatment systems so less untreated sewage ends up polluting our waters; individuals can also help by reducing their plastic consumption or taking part in beach clean-ups whenever possible.
In conclusion, although enjoying a walk on a beachfront can still be an enjoyable experience despite its bacterial content, it’s essential for us all to work together towards protecting our oceans before they become too contaminated for us all to enjoy safely again.
