LONDON: Half of Britain’s beaches have been judged unsafe for bathing following the summer washout and risk getting worse because of climate change, according to conservationists, reports telegraph.
According to newspaper, the Marine Conservation Society tested 754 beaches at the end of last summer for sewage and dirt in the water. The number recommended for swimming was only 403, 113 fewer than the previous year.
