Not only is public health at risk but also the health of marine ecosystems because intense urban development and runoff from streets and surfaces transports untreated contaminants directly into the ocean. The Southern California region has one of the largest sewage effluent systems in the country, contributing more than 1 billion gallons of treated wastewater to the ocean daily. USC Sea Grant-funded research over the last four decades has examined both the contents and the fate of the urban runoff plumes in local coastal waters and developed unique technology and partnerships to track these plumes along the coastline. Other research has focused on developing new and rapid methods to test for enteroviruses in coastal waters to facilitate the work of public health and safety authorities. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Recent Research\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-u2Z2vM65E9\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-u2Z2vM65E9\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Safe to Swim: Advancing an early warning system for California beach water quality<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-u2Z2vM65E9\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-u2Z2vM65E9\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><strong>Details:<\/strong> USC Sea Grant-Funded Research Project (2020-2022)<\/p>\n<p><b>Principal Investigator: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexandria Boehm, Ph.D., Professor, Stanford<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cta-link\" href=\"\/uscseagrant\/safe-to-swim\/\">View Project Page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-2-u2Z2vM65E9\" aria-controls=\"section-1-2-u2Z2vM65E9\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Safe to Surf: The ocean is an important source of transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to humans<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-2-u2Z2vM65E9\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-2-u2Z2vM65E9\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><strong>Details:<\/strong> USC Sea Grant-Funded Research Project (2018-2022; 2022-ongoing)<\/p>\n<p><b>Principal Investigator: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennifer Jay, Ph.D., Professor, University of California Los Angeles<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cta-link\" href=\"\/uscseagrant\/safe-to-surf\/\">View Project Page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n          <\/ul>\n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Related Links\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beachreportcard.org\/33.91029999999999\/-118.51929100000001\/11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heal the Bay Beach Report Card<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/oehha.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swrcb.ca.gov\/rwqcb4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.waterboards.ca.gov\/waterboards_map.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State Water Resources Control Board<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1475","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
