Six stations were sampled this week by the Florida Department of Health – all six had high levels of bacteria. Health advisories were issued for all. This is due to excessive rain during Hurricane Nate. Those bodies of water are:
Bayou Texar
Bayou Chico
Bayou Grande
Big Lagoon State Park
Quietwater Beach
Sanders Beach
