TV report covering illegal beach closure

The Surfrider Foundation South Florida chapter has been engaged in an effort to raise public awareness regarding an illegal beach closure in Bal Harbour. Surfrider SFL's efforts have brought forward evidence of larger, illegal activities that the chapter is sharing with the general public for the purpose of correcting the beach closure and holding the parties responsible for breaking the law. The following is an investigative report which aired on local Miami television as a result of the chapter's work, which aired on the DeFede Report, CBS4 Miami, hosted by investigative journalist and radio personality, Jim DeFede, in December 2006.
