 * 9) ====In 2000 under the Beach Act, the EPA helped states test and keep watch of their coastal waters to make sure the water is safe for people to use. Pollutants can make people sick. Shoreline, beach and ocean pollution hurt tourism. Boats are damaged by marine debris, which clogs engines and propellers. No one wants to vacation on a dirty beach!====
