The Wakulla
County Health Department has lifted the Swim Advisory for Shell Point Beach.
The advisory was issued on April
1st after moderate concentrations of the enterococcus bacteria were found in
the water there which could pose a health risk to swimmers.
Health officials take water
samples from beaches around Florida on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule to insure
that the water is safe for swimming.
The last water samples were taken
on Franklin County beaches on April 14th and even though there are
no swimming advisories, moderate concentrations of bacteria were found at
Alligator Point and at the 11th street east beach on St. George
Island.
Higher concentrations were found
at the St. George Island public beach.
Water samples were also taken in
Gulf County of April 14th and there are no swimming advisories in
that county though moderate concentrations of bacteria were found at Dixie
Belle beach.
You can see the sample results
for beaches around the state at the Department of Health Beach Water Quality
website.
