We present a new approach to monitoring public recreational beach waters and describe a prototype system that collects data from sensors and from people and combines those to create a novel metric of water resource quality and appreciation. We present an evaluation of the system and consider some consequences for IT-enabled smart environments that monitor shared resources in general.
