Description:

Under the BEACH ACT, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates that states routinely monitor and promptly notify the public and local governments when beach water quality exceeds acceptable values (National Science Center for Environmental Publications (NSCEP), 2016). This study focuses on the perception of risk among Georgia (US state) beach visitors related to polluted water. Funded by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, this research examines what conditions define coastal waters as being polluted for these visitors. Even though recreational beaches are potent tourism-driven economic engines, there is a paucity of data within the United States on beachgoers' risk perception and definition of a polluted beach. This study seeks to address the gap between routine beach water quality notifications and public awareness in coastal Georgia, USA.
