I'm not saying there aren't areas that need some additional action but if you travel the world there are far more places where they totally lack adequate controls on discharges to the ocean.  And I am not talking about the resorts but around urban areas and industrial areas. Relatively speaking we are way better off than much of the world.

On the issue of fecal coliform, that is usually a problem of combined sewer overflow where sanitary sewage is combined with stormwater and gets disharged into waterways.  Those are usually upset conditions and not the normal course of events.  Heavily urbanized areas usually have this problem due to not having kept the infrastructure in line with population growth.  Yet another failure of government in one of the few areas they should be competent.
