The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has
temporarily closed a portion of the Apalachicola bay to oyster harvesting because of fecal coliform found in a recent
water sample.
The
state closed the conditionally approved Apalachicola Summer
Shellfish Harvest Area #1652 at sunset on Thursday.
That
area is north of the Apalachicola Bridge
The
Department of Agriculture will continue taking water samples and reopen the
area when water quality allows.
