| Posted 2/27/2010 | 2010 Polar Plunge Zuma Beach Today | |
| Removed 2/28/2010 | ||
| Plunge participants take a quick dip in the Pacific to raise funds for Special Olympics Southern California. Plungers set their own personal goals of how deep to go and how long they stay in (within the limits established by the lifeguards). Some Plungers only get their ankles wet while others stay in until the lifeguards make them leave the water. Going completely underwater is discouraged since it makes it harder for the lifeguards to determine individuals in distress. For more Polar Plunge information, to register offline, or if you have questions, please contact Eloise Crawford at ecrawford@sosc.org or 310.400.3120. To learn more about Special Olympics Southern California - Greater Los Angeles Area, please visit their program page. |

| Posted 12/17/2008 | Public Health Advisory | |
| Removed 12/20/2008 | ||
| Due to the current rainfall, there is an advisory in effect for all Los Angeles County beaches until Friday, December 19 at 7 a.m. The County Health Officer is cautioning residents who are planning to visit Los Angeles County beaches to be careful of swimming, surfing and playing in the ocean around active storm drains, creeks and rivers. Bacteria, debris, trash and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas are likely to enter ocean waters though these outlets. “Fortunately, discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers only comprises a small portion of the beach, and therefore, anybody who wants to go to the beach will be able to enjoy their outing,” said Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, Public Health Director and Health Officer. “We do advise swimmers and surfers to stay away from the storm drains, creeks and rivers as there is the possibility that bacteria or chemicals from debris and trash may contaminate the water near and around these areas, and some individuals may become ill.” Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the County's beach closure hotline: 800-525-5662. You can also check out the Web site by clicking here. |

| Posted 5/4/2007 | Toxic Algae Bloom Causing Increased Strandings of California Sea Lions and Common Dolphins | |
| Removed 7/1/2007 | ||
| Southern California is currently experiencing increased strandings of California sea lions and common dolphins. It is suspected that the strandings are due to a toxic algal bloom of the diatom Pseudonitzschia australis. The algae produce a biotoxin known as domoic acid. This biotoxin accumulates in anchovies and sardines that feed on the algae and, in turn, affects the sea lions and dolphins that feed on these fish. The most recognizable symptom of ingestion of the biotoxin is seizuring by the affected animals. Since early April, approximately 7 common dolphins and 116 California sea lions have beached alive with seizures from San Luis Obispo County south to San Diego County. All of the dolphins have died shortly after beaching. Many of the sea lions are currently being treated at various local marine mammal rehabilitation facilities. In addition, approximately 10 dead common dolphins and numerous dead sea lions have also washed ashore. This current event is the largest toxic algal event in California since 2002-2003, when approximately 1000 sea lions and 50 common dolphins were affected. In order to ensure the best care to those animals that are in the greatest need of treatment, the Fort MacArthur Marine Mammal Care Center (FMMMCC) has implemented an emergency triage and monitoring policy for all beached seals and sea lions in Los Angeles County. Under this temporary policy, all seals and sea lions, other than those with human-related injuries, will remain on the beach for 48 hours prior to being taken to the FMMMCC for treatment. It is expected that many sea lions will expire on the beach during the current event, which may last until early July. The National Marine Fisheries Service, Southwest Regional Office (NMFS-SWR), supports this policy. The NMFS-SWR is the Federal agency office responsible for managing the pinniped populations in the State of California. The NMFS-SWR anticipates that the current event will not have a major impact on the California sea lion population, which currently numbers between 200,000 and 300,000 animals. The general public is reminded that beached pinnipeds are wild animals and can be very dangerous, even though they may appear to be lethargic on the beach. The general public should respect the “Marine Mammal: Do Not Disturb” signs that have been posted on many of our local beaches. The NMFS-SWR recommends that the general public maintain a distance of at least 50 feet from these beached animals. To approach any closer may be in violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act. If you have any questions, please contact Joe Cordaro, Wildlife Biologist with the NMFS-SWR, at (562) 980-4017. |

| Posted 12/16/2006 | Coast Guard Urges Extreme Caution | |
| Removed 12/19/2006 | ||
| Hazardous Weather Advisory Issued For Southern California Coast Los Angeles, Calif. -- The National Weather Service has issued a marine weather statement for high surf, and hazardous sea conditions throughout the weekend and into early next week. Mariners and beach-visitors can expect seas reaching 6 to 10 feet with wind gusts up to 25 knots with possible higher gusts. The Coast Guard reminds all boaters and beach visitors to exercise extreme caution due to consistent high swells and strong winds throughout the weekend. Recreational boating is not advisable for the next several days, and any boaters planning on being out on the water need to take steps to ensure their own safety and the safety of their passengers and other boaters. The following measures should be employed at all times, especially during heavy weather to minimize risk for crew and vessels: Wear life jackets, especially during heavy weather conditions. By law, mariners are required to carry a life vest for everyone on board. Last year nearly 700 people died in boating accidents in the United States. Of those, 420 people could have been saved had they been wearing the proper personal flotation device. Use marine band radios instead of commercial cell phones, which have limited coverage and are unreliable when out of sight of land. Inspect all emergency signaling, communications and navigation equipment to ensure good working condition prior to going underway. Leave a float plan with someone on shore detailing the vessel's route and estimated departure and arrival times. Always check with NOAA Weather Radio or your local news media outlet before heading out to sea. Beach visitors are reminded to avoid standing or climbing on rocks and walking near the water's edge because of the dangerous and unpredictable force of breaking waves. Large waves can break across previously dry areas. If it is possible, avoid the beach and coastal areas until the storm system passes. Additional boating safety information can be found at http://www.uscgboating.org/ Weather information can be accessed by calling the Marine Weather Forecast recording at 805-988-6610. |

| Southern California including the Los Angeles County coastline is currently experiencing a series of large swells coming from the W and WNW, which has produced some extremely large surf ranging from 10’-15’ with even bigger sets. These swells are expected to run through the end of the year. Due to the extremely large surf and hazardous conditions we are recommending that people not enter the water at this time. Lifeguards have responded to a number of distressed swimmers, surfers, and boaters. While the County of Los Angeles Fire Department would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Holiday weekend, we also want to remind everyone of the following safety tips; While on the beach keep young children close at hand Stay off all Piers , Jetty’s and Rocks during these high surf advisories Check with your local Lifeguards before participating in any water related activity this includes swimming, surfing, kayaking, and fishing THESE CURRENT CONDITIONS ARE VERY DANGEROUS! |

| The County of Los Angeles Fire Department, Lifeguard Division kicked off National Beach Safety Week today by releasing a video Public Service Announcement in both English and Spanish reminding Southland beachgoers of the fundamentals of ocean safety. "With spring in full session and summer just around the corner, it is important to remind everyone to always swim near a lifeguard and to always be aware of the conditions," said Lifeguard Captain Garth Canning. The PSA stars actual lifeguards in uniform driving the points home and also features actual rescue footage made by some of the 700 men and women of the lifeguard service. The piece also makes reference to its award winning website, www.watchthewater.org, which is built around a network of webcameras, meteorological stations and water thermometers. "Watchthewater.org allows the public to arrive at the beach aware of the latest weather, conditions and water quality advisories to help make their beach experience safe and enjoyable," said Chief Lifeguard Mike Frazer. A preview of the PSA is available on this website (Requires the QuickTime Player): Broadcast quality copies of the PSA may be obtained by contacting the Coastal Monitoring Network via the 'Contact Us' page of this website. |

| Removed 12/31/2003 | ||
| The County of Los Angeles Fire Department, Lifeguard Division, in partnership with the Department of Beaches and Harbors, and the USC Sea Grant Program launched www.watchthewater.org this today as part of a broad technology initiative dubbed the "Coastal Monitoring Network." The program is funded by a federal grant with applications in public safety, public education, and environmental studies. Through the website, the public can view images from the beach that are updated every thirty minutes, along with current weather and surf conditions and a searchable database of facilities and amenities. "The public will be able to search for a beach based on criteria such as showers, parking, or volleyball courts, then see regularly updated information about that beach, such as current conditions, surf, events and beach advisories," said Chief Lifeguard, Mike Frazer. When complete, the network will consist of 27 web-cameras, 3 sets of meteorological instruments and 5 water thermometers. Currently there are four cameras installed, with more coming later this year. The network will help Lifeguards make staffing decisions, track rescue activity, create public education materials, and collect environmental data for the scientific community. "Beach images will be useful as we develop both classroom and internet-based curricula for students and families living in L.A. County some distance from the coast," said Phyllis Grifman, Associate Director of the USC Sea Grant Program and Chairperson for the Program's Environmental Advisory Committee. US Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Technology Opportunities Program: The Department of Commerce's Technology Opportunities Program (TOP) promotes the widespread availability and use of digital network technologies in the public and non-profit sectors. As part of the Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), TOP gives grants for model projects demonstrating innovative uses of network technologies. TOP evaluates and actively shares the lessons learned from these projects to ensure the benefits are broadly distributed across the country, especially in rural and underserved communities. A national competition was held in 2001 and Los Angeles County is one of 74 non-profit organizations, including state and local governments to receive an award out of over six hundred applications. |
