Along with 10 trillion gallons of stormwater runoff, dust, oil, waste and chemicals pour into waterways that can potentially harm visitors and aquatic life.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Surfrider Foundation\u2019s annual <u>Clean Water Report<\/u> found three Florida beaches are among the nation\u2019s top ten bacteria hot spots. The report was conducted with the help of the foundation\u2019s Blue Water Task Force, which consists of volunteers who collect 100 mL water samples to be processed in labs across the country.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The three Florida beaches with over 60 percent of samples containing high levels of bacteria are Ballard Park in Melbourne, Park View Kayak Launch in Miami Beach and Margaret Pace Park on Biscayne Bay. Both Park View and Ballard Park have made the top 10 of the report\u2019s Beach Bacteria Hot Spots list since 2021.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur sampling plans are designed to support or help fill in the gaps left by the agency-run beach monitoring programs,\u201d said Jaime LeDuc, the Blue Water Task Force Manager at Surfrider.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The samples were tested for enterococcus bacteria, which is found in the digestive systems of warm-blooded animals. If present in the samples, it\u2019s an indicator of fecal pollution in the water, which is often caused by stormwater runoff, aging sewage infrastructure or by not cleaning up after pets.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>At Ballard Park, 76 percent of samples collected had a high bacteria rate. At Margaret Pace Park, 64 percent had bacteria, while Park View Kayak Launch reached a high bacteria rate of 92 percent, the third highest in the country. Park View also has had a no-contact water advisory since March 2020, but the report found that visitors still kayak on its waters.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The consistent exposure to bacteria in recreational water can pose risks to visitors, especially those who are immunocompromised. LeDuc said reactions can include flu-like symptoms, diarrhea, nausea, ear and eye infections and rashes.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>To better protect themselves, LeDuc advises residents to \u201cknow before they go.\u201d They can turn Surfrider\u2019s to database or local beach monitoring agencies\u2019 data. She believes beachgoers should treat checking bacteria levels like checking for water temperature and tides before setting up on the sand.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat should just be intertwined into what you\u2019re thinking about when you go to the beach,\u201d LeDuc said.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Biscayne Bay Report Card<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The release of the foundation\u2019s report coincides with the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management\u2019s release of <u>the Biscayne Bay Report Card<\/u>, which evaluates water quality and habitat health in Biscayne Bay. Omar Abdelrahman, senior section manager of the water resources section at DERM, said the report card averages parameters such as nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen, bacteria, chlorophyll-a, water clarity and submerged aquatic vegetation to determine the overall health of the bay.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=832\">Bayfront Miami Beach properties fetch megamillion prices. Check the listings<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s report card found multiple areas of concern along the bay and its canals. Abdelrahman cites a series of causes, most identical to Surfrider\u2019s report, from canals picking up contaminants from groundwater and stormwater to dog feces making it into the water.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Some areas of the bay have consistent signs of nutrient loading from fertilizer spill off that can lead to algae blooms, which decrease water quality and suffocate aquatic life.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you fertilize your lawn, the grass grows. When you fertilize the bay, you get algae growing,\u201d Abdelrahman said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Most areas of Biscayne Bay fall under the report card\u2019s fair range, meaning they have degrading water quality and habitat health. However, North Biscayne Bay has multiple poor areas with considerable ecological degradation where \u201cessential ecological functions and species diversity are impacted and not able to perform beneficial functions at optimum levels,\u201d according to the report card.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Loren Parra, DERM director and chief resilience officer for Miami-Dade County, advises residents and tourists to clean up after themselves to better the health of the waterways. Keeping lawn clippings out of storm drains or not using fertilizer during rainy seasons can help keep aquatic life healthy and prevent more contaminants from potentially impacting recreational waters, she said.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether you\u2019re in the uplands out west, or you\u2019re near the water, the whole system is connected,\u201d Parra said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The team behind the report card is seeing small wins, such as an increase in seagrass in North Biscayne Bay. But more needs to be done to ensure the long-term improvement of water quality along Biscayne Bay is visible in the data years down the road.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Fecal bacteria is persistent<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Adriana Gonz\u00e1lez Fern\u00e1ndez, the science and research director at Miami Waterkeeper, a non-profit that advocates for clean South Florida waters, wants residents to understand that while fecal-indicator bacteria suggest fecal waste may be present in the water, it doesn\u2019t mean there was recent fecal pollution. The bacteria persist in the environment.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHigh levels of bacteria don\u2019t necessarily mean that you\u2019re going to get sick,\u201d Fern\u00e1ndez said. \u201cBut there are increased odds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>But not every sample location is the same, she said. Each body of water has different characteristics. An open beach has more dilution compared to an enclosed canal; fresh water contains different bacterial indicators than marine water. The data acts as a snapshot of the water at that moment in time, and specific parameters need to be measured.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more data you have, the more trends you can see in time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean water enthusiasts shouldn\u2019t be aware of what\u2019s going on beneath the surface. They can turn to sites like <u>Swim Guide<\/u> to determine if kayaking, swimming or diving is worth the risk. Visitors can also contact Miami Waterkeeper if they notice any concerning contaminants in the water, such as oil spills.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=830\">A year after teen was stabbed 94 times in Brickell condo, more details emerge<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--]--><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reports label three Florida beaches as bacteria hot spots; learn risks, causes and how to check local water quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-miami-dade-county"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
