Santa Monica Pier flagged for high fecal indicator bacteria.

And in January 2025, the impacts of the Palisades fires flowed straight into our coastal waters and rivers.

What really happened to our water quality in 2025? Tune in to find out!

Join Heal the Bay’s water quality scientists on Instagram on May 20, 2026, at 10 AM for the live release of the annual Beach Report Card and River Report Card.

Now in its 36th year, this 12-month analysis reveals the long-term grades of the waters you love to protect—and why it matters to you.

We’ve been tracking this for nearly four decades. Why? Because your health depends on it.

Tune in before Memorial Day weekend to know where it’s safe to swim and why.
