Beaches Across the Nation Closed This Weekend Due to Fecal Waste

AP

Thousands of Americans will head to beaches for one last summer splash this Labor Day weekend, but taking a dip might be out of the question: Many of the beaches will caution against swimming because of unsafe levels of fecal contamination.

Beaches from Crystal River, Florida, to Ogunquit, Maine, have been under advisories warning about water quality this week because of elevated levels of bacteria associated with fecal waste. The advisories typically discourage beachgoers from going in the water because the bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illness, rashes and nausea.

There have been closures this week at some of the country’s most popular beach destinations, including Keyes Memorial Beach in the Cape Cod village of Hyannis in Barnstable, Massachusetts; Benjamin’s Beach on Long Island in Bay Shore, New York; and a portion of the Imperial Beach shoreline near San Diego. Even on the pristine, white sand beaches of Hawaii, the Hawaii State Department of Health is warning of a high bacteria count at Kahaluu Beach Park on the Big Island. More

  1. not to mention the flesh eating bacteria. A friend caught it on Venice Beach FL. He is a double amputee now. He cut his foot on a shell or something and everything went to hell.

  2. Mr. Hanky? No, we’re dealing with Sr. Janqui.
    And the Yurrapeons’re dealing with Herr/ Messieur Mohammad.

    See, if you dig a small hole in the sand, crap in it, and throw a handful of sand on top, the crap is gone forever! Magic! Beach perfectly clean!

  3. My My where to start…. This BS was routed to the interwebz via the AP. The AP is 90%+ propaganda and this waste of print is no exception. Too many to list news aggregators plastered this stinking pile from just one source, Environment America. This left commie radical outfit is one of a consortium of further left wing eco-radicals in a big Soros family. The point man or Marxist america hater is one Doug Phelps of Public Interest Network.In addition, Phelps is president of his private grantmaking foundation, the Douglas H. Phelps Foundation, which supports a number of left-wing organizations including the Clinton Foundation, Aspen Institute, Media Matters for America, and the Center for American Progress.https://www.denverpost.com/2008/10/05/progressive-gang-uses-nonprofits-to-push-politics/

  4. And all this contamination is happening everywhere at the same time…..??
    I smell something, and it ain’t fecal matter in the ocean.
    More like a large dead presstitute and deep state rat.
