Well, beaches ARE where people swim so your point of 99% being beaches where people swim makes sense.

To your point though, I would suggest that it is these same beaches where you will find that most of the offenders (ducks) are being fed by the beach-goers that is the issue. These same duck/geese or other animal will continue to return if their food supply is so plentiful

I sincerely doubt that it is people depositing feces (read pooping, as urine is not fecal matter) in the water that is causing the issue.

If 99% of these beaches are closed for human fecal matter, that is a new topic that need serious attention
