Save the Harbor/Save the Bay released their annual Beach Water Quality Report Card on the Metropolitan Region’s public beaches just in time for the summer. The report card is based on water quality data collected during the 2018 beach season on 15 public beaches in 10 communities, including Lynn, Swampscott, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull.
Tenean Beach in Dorchester came in last with the poorest quality, although the water has improved over the past few years. Hmmm, wonder if the poor quality of Tenean’s water has anything to do with Quincy’s shenanigans.
