3 Fecal Content Swimming Warnings @ Popular Miami-Dade Beach In Just Over 1 Month

[hatrack]

Another swimming advisory has been issued by the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County — just in time for the holiday weekend.

The agency is recommending that people not swim at Crandon North Beach after two consecutive water samples revealed high levels of enterococci, a bacteria that can lead to urinary tract infections, diverticulitis or meningitis in susceptible individuals.

According to the health department, the presence of enteric bacteria can indicate fecal pollution, which could result from storm water runoff, human sewage and other contaminants.

This is the third time in a little over a month that Crandon North has had a no-swimming advisory.

All the nitrogen rich runoff from the sugar plantations (factory farms actually) are causing the natural plants to be overcome with cattails... They grow faster and more hardy with the fertilizer runoff... AndAndand don't get me started on the pythons...
