1.How bacteria effects our local surfers?
Bacteria effects our surfers in many ways. The most common effect for bacteria is rain. This is because after it rains the pollution that is in the water drains gets washed in the ocean. The bacteria can pose threats for ear infections, sore throats, and other viral infections.
Daniel Braff a Carlsbad surfer claims he is suing government officials for the potential deadly brain infection because he was exposed to sewage while surfing. "This infection has cost him more than $500,000 in medical expenses and has affected his speech, motor skills and forced him to use a wheelchair" says his attorney Randall Winet. This brings up the question if this happens to regular surfers like us, what could happen in the long run when our bacteria levels get brought up? Are locals at risks for infections that are unknown?Sea Pollution

2.What effect does the beach pollution have on us and marine life in San Diego?
Beach pollution can come in different forms to effect the us and marine life we have today. There are trash like, plastic, cigarette butts, and beer bottles, but what really can effect the marine life is toxic water or water pollution.
Toxic waste is the most harmful form of pollution to sea life and humans. When bacteria gets into the water our fish take that in. When our fisherman catch that fish we are the ones to eat it. It goes the same with the marine life food chain. The plastic litter substances that are dispersed out into our beach suffocates many birds and other animal life. If we all did our part to help with pollution would it make a significant change? and in what ways could we do that?Lessons learned in South Pacific
