As the summer season gets underway, a new report finds that many coastal U.S. waterways, including popular beaches for swimming, are contaminated with unsafe levels of fecal bacteria.
After sampling water sites around the country, the Surfrider Foundation, an ocean protection advocacy organization, found unsafe levels of fecal contamination at 19% of the 9,095 water samples. Of the 496 sites sampled, 301 — 61% — had at least one sample from last year that tested above the recreational water health standard. More
And don’t go swimming in a pool where joey’s been in the water either because you might either see him swimming buck naked or a floating turd from his poopy diapers. And the water would be yellow with a strong smell of ammonia. Doody, run away!
IT’S NOT JUST ILLEGALS FLOODING ACROSS THE BORDER JUST SOUTH OF SAN DIEGO

Benito, it’s just like Shit River, the drainage canal separating Olongapo City and the Subic Bay Navy base in the Philippines back in the 70’s with the Filipino kids swimming in it yelling at the sailors as they cross the bridge into Po town, “Throw me peso joe” and they’d dive for it with the drunken sailors thinking that was funny as hell, it wasn’t.
^^^ GEOFF, ILL BACK YOU ON THAT, CROSSED THAT BRIDGE MANY TIMES!!
And I have too, too many times. It’s the closest to Hell that I’ve ever been. The bar scene in the first Star Wars movie had nothing on Olongapo city, they’re both hellholes.
Fish shit in the ocean, as do gulls, pelicans, and all sorts of other dirty birds. And can you even imagine a blue whale turd?!
avoid the brown “fish”
I’ve heard that whale shit floats. Don’t know if that’s totally true but that’s what I’ve been told. And the Navy weighs their garbage down when they throw it off the sponson, the back end of the ship to get rid of it. I’ve also seen Marines shooting those black plastic bags full of garbage for target practice with their M-16’s as well.
You should not only avoid the brown fish but the Brown 25 as well.
It’s from all the caddie bodies.
DOODIE!

Meh. I live near the Ohio River. ALL the cities along it have combined sewers so when it rains half the poop debouches directly into the river.
And then people swim and Jet Ski in it.
I think things are generally cleaner than they were in the 60s and 70s. Lake Ontario was horrible then, if you went to the beach the smell from all the dead fish was terrible. Nobody went in the water. There was a lot of heavy industry lining the shores of the Great Lakes back then.
So they don’t want people swimming.
“the Surfrider Foundation, an ocean protection advocacy organization”
There’s your red flag right there.
Funded by who? Follow the money.
Good grief… we’ve been swimming in lakes and rivers for centuries and no one ever once had to put up a sign that sez:
“No swimming!”
“The fish are fucking in it!”
Of course, they ignore the elephant in the room; homeless people shitting on the streets. Business owners hose down the street, and all that shit goes down the curb inlet and into the ocean, untreated. Some of the most contaminated beaches are on Oahu, where the homeless camp out (and shit) on the beach.
It’s not just the fish it’s the coral as well. I was watching a PBS nature program once with my father-in-law and he matter of factly commented to me that he’d like to be like all those corals did ejaculating their sperm into the ocean to fertilize all the female corals. I laughed at that, he was a horny old Catholic coot with 9 kids and a good guy.
We really ARE turning into a third world shit-hole country. Way to go, Dems!
Rochester NY gets its drinking water from two small finger lakes, Hemlock Lake and Canadice Lake. The city fathers bought the lakes (all the property around them) in the 1800s and the water is gravity fed through pipelines 28 miles to the city. There’s no development along either of the lakes, and boating is limited to small trolling motors.
Anyhow, maybe 10 years ago there was a terrible outbreak of tent caterpillars in the area. They stripped the leaves off the trees and drove people indoors. It was really bad. So with no development on those lakes, the trees grow right to the edge and the branches hang out over the water. And the accumulated poop from millions and millions of tent caterpillars just fell in the drinking water. So now every summer the stink of chlorine ruins are otherwise pristine drinking water.
I’ll shut up now.
I never go into the ocean. I saw Jaws. I know what’s out there.
One must remember to never swim in the Ganges with their mouth open.
Or go swimming in the Amazon with any kind of cut or open wound on your body.
