Meeting convened; facilitator (State Water Board ocean standards unit staff) reviewed agenda: introductions, local agency updates, quality-assurance and beach program updates, five presentations, and scheduling the May 2026 meeting. Hosts invited chat questions and described meeting controls.
The Coastal Beach Water Quality Work Group met in November to review BeachWatch system updates, a redesigned Safe2Swim public map, plans to publish BeachWatch datasets to the California Open Data Portal, ongoing real-time monitoring work in the Tijuana River, and partnership/funding opportunities for coastal resilience. Presenters demonstrated the Safe2Swim prototype, sensor and remote-sensing results, and described outreach and data-publication timelines.
