Description

Several significant changes have been included in the current fecal indicator guidelines. This includes moving away from using GM and SSM's to using BAVs for day-to-day beach management (based on data from the most recent epidemiological studies), recommending PCR-based monitoring methods in addition to culture-based methods and encouraging the use of MST and the development of alternative criteria (where appropriate).
