—and a threat to public health.The nonprofit environmental organization, the Surfrider Foundation, recently released its annual Clean Water Report. For its report, the foundation collected 10,120 water samples from 604 sampling sites across the country. After analyzing all the samples, it found that Imperial Beach in San Diego County, California, was the dirtiest beach in the state—and one of the most contaminated in the U.S.—with a bacteria rate of 82 percent.However, this is a known problem to the city, and the high bacteria rate is largely due to an overflow of sewage pollution from the Tijuana River. The beach is currently closed.

“The failures in Tijuana's sewage treatment, conveyance, and pump station network have been responsible for the decades of transboundary sewage flows coming through the Tijuana River, which have significantly worsened since 2017,” the City of Imperial Beach said in a. “The beach is closed because sewage flows in the Tijuana River are exceptionally high.”

Imperial Beach is actively trying to address the issue, but the problem spans across the border into Mexico, and despite its best efforts, the high levels of pollution and unpleasant smells from the pollution continue on the beach.

“The City of Imperial Beach is engaged in continuous advocacy at every level of government, including requests to fund immediate solutions and petitions for declarations of emergency from the Governor of California and President of the United States,” the Imperial Beach said in its February statement. “Unfortunately, all requests for a declaration of emergency have been denied.”! This allows them to swing and leap from tree to tree with ease, which explains why the gibbon in the video was able to move across the bridge so effortlessly.

Other attributes that(swing through trees) include their unique wrist joints, which can rotate from side to side and back to front; the deep clefts in their hands, which help them grip tree branches; and their powerful legs, which allow them to leap distances of up to 50 feet in a single bound. Pretty impressive, isn’t it? Although gibbons are considered

because they spend most of their time in the trees, if they do go down to the forest floor, they walk or run with their arms raised over their heads for balance.These cool apes have another interesting trait.
