BEACHNET is a forum that seeks to facilitate communication and networking between people interested in the improvement of recreational beach water quality in the Great Lakes basin. The forum is sponsored by the Great Lakes Association for Healthy Recreational Waters. Both the forum and listserv membership are open to anyone interested in improving recreational beach water quality, understanding bacteria contamination, developing better ways to detect and monitor pollution, or monitoring and assuring beach visitor's public health. The Association is presently made up of members from federal, state, county and local agencies, public health agencies, regulatory agencies, researchers, universities, and environmental groups from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Environment Canada. Our mission is the pursuit of healthy beach water conditions in the Great Lakes area.

BEACHNET can also be used to conduct Association business, to make announcements, and to share data online by participating 'members'.  Membership is free, and the only requirement is an interest in recreational water quality in the Great Lakes area. To become a member of the Association or list server, submit your name, affiliation, address, email, phone number and interests to richard_whitman@usgs.gov. Please indicate whether you want to be in the Association or only list server.

BEACHNET is a closed list. Only subscribers can post directly to the list.  Non-member submissions are forwarded to the list owner for approval.  BEACHNET is managed by Richard Whitman <richard_whitman@usgs.gov> and hosted by the Great Lakes Information Network (http://www.great-lakes.net).
