In 2006–2007, Mendocino County monitored 7 locations at Mackerricher Beach State Park at Mill Creek and Virgin Creek, at the Pudding Creek ocean outlet, at Hare Creek, at Caspar Beach at Caspar Creek, at Big River near Pacific Coast Highway, and Van Damme State Park at the Little River. The Environmental Health Department with assistance from the Mendocino County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation monitored sampling locations from April through September. Not all sampling locations were monitored regularly during this time period. However, they all have been assigned a grade based on dry samples taken during the summer months. Water quality at the monitored locations was excellent and all 7 beaches received A grades. Mendocino County has been working with Heal the Bay, and for the first time ever, data will be made available in a timely enough manner during the summer of 2007 to be included on the weekly updated Beach Report Card webpage.
Data for year-round dry and wet weather was insufficient for further analysis.
