Who Uses the Water and the Watershed?

Residential – 39% Recreation – 24%

Commercial uses – 12% Agriculture – 20%

In Wisconsin steps are underway to improve our shorelines – one beach at a time.

How you can get involved A year round program September Adopt-a-Beach is part of an international event Data collection Pollution prevention and education

 Make an immediate impact with every visit  3-5 visits per year  Identify trends in litter type or quantities  Provide “hard data” to leaders in community  Raise public awareness of issues along your beach

The first Adopt-a-Beach groups in Wisconsin formed in 2004 In 2007, adopters have adopted beaches all along both Lake Michigan and Lake Superior

How does Adopt-a-Beach work? Adopters, using Alliance for the Great Lakes data forms: –Make a visual assessment of the beach and it’s facilities –Collect and record trash items from the beach –Conduct a water quality text for presence of E. coli bacteria –Enter data into the Alliance for the Great Lakes database

The Beach Assessment Form

The Litter Monitoring Form

The Litter Tally Sheet

McKinley Beach Trash Profile Tobacco products make up 29% of all collected material Food related items make up 22% of all collected material

The Water Monitoring Form

In 2006 Adopters from around the Great Lakes documented nearly 10 tons of trash. 154,000 cigarette butts 109,000 food related items 7,600 balloons

Taking Action Write a letter to your representatives to share you data and experience Invite others to join you on your beach visits Display results for public viewing
