Purpose & Description of the Conference
This 3-day conference is sponsored by EPA's Office of Water. It will provide a national framework for discussion of beach water quality issues, exchange of information, and coordination of efforts in research and decision making. The conference format will consist of presentations and panel discussions. The conference will also feature a poster session and evening reception, which will facilitate information sharing and collaboration. This conference will be similar to the 2009 National Beach Conference that was held in Huntington Beach, California.
