Heading to the beach this weekend? Seven out of 10 of the state’s most polluted beaches are in Northern California, according to environmental group Heal the Bays annual Beach Report Card, released Thursday. Each year, Heal the Bay ranks California beaches on water quality. They test for bacteria that signal the presence of microscopic critters that can make people sick. This year, 95 percent of beaches got clean A or B grades, a record. That’s thanks to the drought, explained Amanda Griesbach with Heal the Bay. Check out the list on KQED Science.
