Annual Reports

RITN - MCS: The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) says more beaches have excellent water quality this year than in 2009, but the increase still doesn’t match the number in 2006 when almost two thirds of British beaches were recommended in its Good Beach Guide.
 
MCS is concerned that the current situation may further deteriorate when new stricter bathing water standards are introduced in 2015.  Under this new regime, 83 (14%) of Britain’s beaches will fail the new minimum water quality standard if nothing’s done to improve them.  The list includes notables like Rock in Cornwall, Paignton Sands, Robin Hoods Bay, Bridlington South, Chalkwell bay at Southend, Plymouth Hoe and the main beach at Weston Super Mare.
