• Why California Can't Tell You Where It's Unsafe to Swim (baynature.org) — If you're thinking about wading near Belmont Creek or other inland spots, state data on whether it's safe to swim may be years out of date. A new report explains how budget cuts, voluntary reporting, and clunky state systems leave big gaps in monitoring creeks and lakes, pushing Belmont-area residents to rely on scattered local sources for real-time water quality information.
