USMS and Clean Water

Lots of talk these days about stripping the budget of the EPA... some would even nix the agency altogether. Since swimming in polluted water is certainly a safety issue, I think this is a topic that should transcend politics (but what do I know?) Should USMS add a statement of support for a healthy aquatic world to the mission? As one who spends a hell of a lot of time in bodies of water that were much more compromised two decades ago than they are today, its easy to guess where I stand. Much progress has been made toward restoring the health of our waterways, but there is a long way to go.

    i say no, the organizers should not be liable. I say yes. Even with a business that is running a private profitable event? How about if the for profit event violates government standards? How about a government run event? I couldn't imagine a marathon being staged when the organizers knew that the runners would be exposed to toxic compounds.
