There are no swimming advisories in Franklin County for the Memorial Day weekend. The waters also tested clean in Wakulla County and Gulf County this week.
The Florida Department of Health tests 5 Franklin County beaches every week to see if there are bacteria in the water that could indicate a health danger to swimmers. They also test 6 sites in Gulf County and two in Wakulla.
The Health Department is also monitoring Florida waters for any sign of oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
So far no Florida beaches have been affected by the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Local tourism officials say they especially want people to know that there are currently no impacts to Franklin County’s beaches. The local tourist development council has begun issuing a daily beach report to reassure visitors that Franklin County is oil free and open for business.
You can see those daily beach reports on the news page at oysrerradio.com.
You can also find those beach reports plus much more local information at the TDC website at www.anaturalescape.com.
