The Florida Department of Health in Wakulla County has issued a water quality advisory for Shell Point Beach and Mash’s Sand beach.
Tests completed on March 18th found high levels of the enterococcus bacteria in water samples taken from both beaches.
This advisory will continue until bacteria levels are below the accepted health level.
Until then it is recommended that people not swim at either Shell Point or Mash’s Sands.
The state currently takes weekly or bi-weekly water samples from beaches in 30 counties – you can see results for all beaches in Florida on-line at the Florida Department of Health healthy beaches website.
