It stinks! Working to decontaminate Long Island beaches

With a skate park, soccer fields, pickleball courts and fishing piers, Tanner Park on the waterfront in Copiague is a hub of recreational activity.

Taking a dip at its beach, however, is never a sure thing. People have been barred or advised against swimming there for more than 400 days over the last decade — more than any other beach on Long Island — due to bacterial contamination or heavy rains that could lead to poor water quality.
