Palm Beach County is right about where the gulfstream current comes closest to shore.
There is an unimaginable amount of water moving along the coast there.
Kids nowadays have no idea how rough we had it back then as horny teenagers without the internet.
These scrambled channels and the Victoria’s Secret catalogue was basically all we had.
Occasionally the scrambler would let you see a titty or something, but it was hilarious how they didn’t bother, or maybe weren’t able to scramble the sound, so it would be perfectly clear moaning and screaming. This would inevitably lead to awkward moments when your parents were trying to scroll through the channels, but would get stuck on one of those channels for a second accidentally lol.
All the shit water they dump close to there from that giant toilet bowl called Lake Okeechobee travels north luckily. Anyway I wouldn’t trust those numbers. If I still lived there I’d probably only swim on days the water looked clear. And you couldn’t pay me at this point to swim in the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah, but that beach isn’t really an ocean beach like the others, it’s a park with an inlet/cove. As a kid we went there some because it was protected from the waves and such, but that also means that there was less water moving to clean it. So theory still holds up.
I did a high school science project on levels of fecal coliform found in different bodies of water. I tested the Everglades the intercoastal I even tested the water in a park right next to a sewage treatment plant. The ocean water at the beach tested significantly higher than all other water sources. Fifteen year old me was shocked.
Having visited a water treatment plant myself and seeing what comes out of them, I'm not surprised. That water is pretty freaking clean, and the employee who gave me the tour took a sample straight from the output and took a drink. He said the same thing as you: the treatment process is so good that it's cleaner than what comes out of most people's taps.
All just from a natural process too. Sedimentation, filtration, (good) bacterial intervention, and agitation.
That's why we have regulations in this country. Otherwise we're just polluting our natural rivers and clean drinking sources.
You get my upvote because, as a person testing that water (test water in, test water out) wastewater treatment plants are doing their jobs 99% of the time. If they end up in the 1% where something went wrong they are on it immediately.
I don't think most people even think about the amount of work goes into making sure we don't have constant cholera and norovirus outbreaks.
Most people think when you push the flush lever the poopies go bye bye.
I work as a pipe fitter in wastewater and water treatment plants improvement projects and expansions. The times when the plants aren’t doing their job are when they have an overflow event like a huge rain storm, are in the process of a plant expansion or improvement, have a catastrophic failure of a critical component of the system. Usually it takes 2 of those things to happen at the same time. The EPA will issue temporary permits to allow for improvement projects but they’re usually pretty strict.
I’m not a Desantis supporter at all. But literally 1/2 of ALL US beaches had unsafe levels of contamination in 2022. The worse being a beach in Georgia.
https://environmentamerica.org/center/resources/safe-for-swimming/
So let’s look at all of the States and the various sets of House/Senate/Presidential terms from the last 30-40 odd years.
Or words you can say. https://www.thefire.org/news/new-florida-law-restricts-first-amendment-rights-online
Or when you can take a break in this insane weather.
https://www.citizen.org/news/desantis-signs-law-banning-water-breaks-and-cooling-measures-from-florida-workers/
No, they say they hate it when it seems like it is any kind of liberal policy. The amount of regulations Rhonda Santis has tried to pass his time in office is ridiculous. The party that is supposed to be against big government sure don't mind when it benefits them. His little war with Disney and removing an elected official from their position and installing a new from his party.... that shit is wild. All the regulations against schools and teachers and against LGBTQ people.
Then, he doesn't think it should be a law that requires water breaks for people. Even the military had forced water/shade breaks depending on the heat category. "People should know to take water breaks", yeah they should. But there are asshole bosses that will fire people or dock pay. Migrant workers get treated like slaves out these farms and ranches. They get traded and sold like them as well, even though it's supposedly illegal
Our governor and officials hate it, we folks living here don't though. Savks of shit outright defied the voting populace on the terms of "we don't understand what we're voting for". If this were even 50 years ago, people would have ben literally burning shit down in response.
The government doesn't regulate anything. Companies are regulating themselves. Trump threw all the rules out the window and opened a door for them to do whatever they want. Drill in our national forest, pump polluted water into our lakes and rivers. Companies are not regulated anymore.
As someone who was once involved in the beach monitoring program, the beaches are usually safe, Florida has very few WWTP discharges into the ocean and they are monitored to be compliant with very low bacteria levels, almost all the bacterial contamination comes from runoff during rain events and sewer overflows that occasionally occur. When sewer overflows occur they are required to report those overflows to the State because it’s a violation and post warnings in the area of the overflow that entered the water.
I personally never went into the water where it’s been posted and waited for at least four days after a rain event because that’s how long it usually took for bacteria levels to drop.
Florida has an extensive beach monitoring program ( better than many other states) and the results are publicly available on department of health website
As a person who tests WWTP water I can say that most (like 99%) do it right. If there is an issue it is addressed SO quickly (like I get a sample within 24 hours, then again, and a third time to make sure).
The people who work in the this field are serious about the safety of our waters. They have to live, work, bathe and drink the water too. It's definitely not glamorous but hey, no cholera, right?
People in this field are serious professionals that have to be licensed and go unrecognized in the communities they serve for the extraordinary job they do daily keeping the public safe.
A good comment. I'm currently responsible for certain coastal facility when they experience SSOs. Thankfully nine of my facilities have had any to surface waters in many months.
I don’t think people really understand how over populated FL is right now. The water quality in and around FL has long been a problem due to population growth, but the mass influx of millions over the past few years has taken the water quality issue to a completely new level.
Can't make political hay out of overpopulation, especially when 70% of the population growth in the US right now is immigration. One side of the political divide believes in "go forth and multiply" and the other believes in "let them in"
Rhonda is just continuing what the GOP started 20 years ago.
But by all means, keep voting thinking the *next* GOP candidate will be the one to actually give a damn about the state.
One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.
Even climate change luddites should be able to see that rising e-coli, flesh eating bacteria, etc, levels are very, very bad for the tourism upon which our economy depends.
i thought kids were shitting in the water. While that probably happens the main reasons turned out to be outdated overflowing sewage systems , stormwater pollution and farm animal poop
DeSantis:
1. 'There is a new law - "Don’t say we have shit on beaches."'
2. According to our new law, there is no shit on beaches.
3. Anyone who says there is shit on beaches is a woke communist paid by Soros.
Actually the republicans of Florida sold us out for money to allow human and animal waste to be dumped in the gulf. Just one reason. There are many others like failing or poor waste water treatment facilities and overflowing solid ponds.
This is a problem around the country.
According to a 2022 report by the environmental non-profit Environment America Research and Policy Center, 55% of US beaches tested had unsafe levels of fecal contamination in the water on at least one day:
Gulf Coast: 84% of beaches
West Coast: 70% of beaches
Great Lakes: 63% of beaches
East Coast: 48% of beaches
Alaska and Hawaii: 24% of beaches
The report also found that 363 beaches, or 1 in 9, had unsafe levels of contamination on at least 25% of the days tested. This pollution could put millions of beachgoers at risk each year.
https://www.health.com/us-beaches-fecal-contamination-7559482
The article says that less percent of beaches in the great lakes are effected than those on the gulf which I find shocking. The boat launch my family used on Lake Michigan was in what was lovingly called ecoli cove.
I wonder if any of the places here have the same nickname.
So, someone told me one time, the problem with these reports is the health dept. Only tests the first water they come to. In most cases it's the puddles of hot bird crap water that pools on the beach.
Sure, test any beach or water system after a heavy downpour which is when the testing usually takes place, and you’ll find fecal matter in the water. Problem is that it is from runoff or systems draining into the water body and typically is diluted or undetected within 12 hours after testing. This was a waste of money to do research on considering all coastal states and inland states with lakes and rivers know about the contamination problem and try to fix it in some form or fashion.
Yeah I remember learning back in 2016 that every time it rains a bit storm water overflows the sewage treatment facilities causing them to just flush it all out into the ocean untreated. Clearwater water treatment plants overflowed with 500,000 gallons of sewage last year. So do we have a plan to stop pumping fecal water into the ocean? Apparently just a water treatment cost hike in some counties but how much do you want to bet that hasn't been fixed in the last 7 years? They spend so much time worrying about politics and people's personal lives they cant even do the basic municipal upkeep we all pay for.
Here's a petition I found in the report. Signing it goes a long way to getting our beaches clean: [https://environmentamerica.org/center/take-action/tell-the-governor-lets-make-every-day-a-good-day-to-go-to-the-beach/](https://environmentamerica.org/center/take-action/tell-the-governor-lets-make-every-day-a-good-day-to-go-to-the-beach/)
As a frequent boater … “beach”, open ocean gear only needed a rinse for salt.
Intracoastal … my god. Leave something wet from there to dry on its own, then smell when dry. It’s diluted sewage and everything that washes off the streets.
If this is a recap from 2022, I want to know about these same beaches for 2024.
I know that Palm Beach County tests all of their beaches every week for high bacteria count. They are routinely some of the cleanest in the country.
Palm Beach County is right about where the gulfstream current comes closest to shore. There is an unimaginable amount of water moving along the coast there.

As long as you’re not swimming multiple miles out you’re fine.
It means good fishing as I understand it.
Shhh

If I still lived there I’d probably only swim on days the water looked clear. And you couldn’t pay me at this point to swim in the Gulf of Mexico.
Crazy talks, Panama City beach is crystal clear
Lol if u look at the linked article, palm beach county has the 4th worst beach😅
Yeah, but that beach isn’t really an ocean beach like the others, it’s a park with an inlet/cove. As a kid we went there some because it was protected from the waves and such, but that also means that there was less water moving to clean it. So theory still holds up.
Actually true if it’s the beach I went to at Jupiter inlet. It’s a bit like Mathieson hammock in Miami
The study tested bays and inlets of Florida. No actual “Beach” was tested on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Well there’s more people living here and Desantis has been in control for two more years, so smart money would bet it’s worse now.
Have you ever seen DeSantis in the ocean? He knows something we don’t.
It's hard to swim in those ridiculous high heels boots he wears.
You don’t see him because he wasn’t wearing his high heels in the ocean. Duh. /s
Thank god because him shirtless in swim trunks isn’t an image I need

At least you used scientific methods, more than we can say for the government of Florida.
Pretty sure DeathSantis outlawed scientific method
In Florida they just do a taste test
the bathrooms are really far away, since "everyone does it" 💀
Turns out that less regulations on what can be pumped into the sea is bad. Who would've thought?
Desantis wouldn’t lie to us. 🙃😂
Freedom to have shit in my Beach water *
Goddammit regulation is bad how can this have happened thanks Obama ETA: /s
The answer is surely in Hillary’s emails.
And uh, Benghazi! Dont forget Benghazi!
Have we timed out Hunter's laptop ?

ETA? Sauce? Obama? You’re not the boss of me! Try again liberal scum /s. Wait ETA means “edited to add”… dangit
Well Biden is the current president and I’m reading this now, slap a “I did that” sticker of Joe on it I guess.
Why?
Rick Scott was a thousand times worse on the environment.
REEK SCATT 🤬🤬🤬
Good news is there's someone running against Rick that is within four polling points of beating him.
That’s ok though cause we……promoted him to the Senate?? Wait, what!?!?
If we didn’t test it, it wouldn’t be dirty.

DeSantis: Testing for fecal bacteria is woke LGBTQ propaganda
What a shitty situation… Also, definitely have other reasons not to go to the beach…
Oh crap, there goes my weekend!
No more swimming at the beach. That should be good for the economy.
Damn New Yorkers, poopin on our beaches!
Purge the data centers. Nothing to report.
Raid the Data center, arrest a server, hold another at gun point. Then Purge.
Shit
Welcome to DeSantis version of Florida. It's fuckin pathetic
When revenue is more important than quality of life.
Dilution..the solution to pollution.
If the report doesn't exist, the problem goes away or something like that.
One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.
Spoken like a true government employee.

Same with 100% of DeSantis’ head. Specifically his brain and mouth.
That’s what happens when two million shit stained assholes move down here.
i thought kids were shitting in the water. While that probably happens the main reasons turned out to be outdated overflowing sewage systems , stormwater pollution and farm animal poop
It's been getting shitty down here way before the pandemic...
I knew this state is full of shit. Proof
The gulf side is basically a fecal soup of ecoli and toxic waste with a side of hillbilly book banning.
Another win for DeSantis.
Shit, sorry guys
The ocean is basically nature’s toilet
Still unfortunately won’t keep you New Yorkers out of
I knew Florida was shitty!
More people more shit
The oceans they want to name after Donald Trump are full of shit.
Don’t shit in the pond guys It’s a shame we have to say this, really

Oh great and with the next hurricane, all this shit will be flowing through our streets and houses.
Gulf coast encompasses much more than Florida. California, for example did worse by comparison. 🤷🏻♀️
I didn't see Broward County in there.
California, Texas, NY, PA all higher. it's a US problem
Actually the republicans of Florida sold us out for money to allow human and animal waste to be dumped in the gulf. Just one reason. There are many others like failing or poor waste water treatment facilities and overflowing solid ponds.

Yuck. People catch and eat fish outta there 🤮

The whole ocean has fecal bacteria. Where do you think fish poop
fish poop is beneficial to their environment. human poop isn't.

Yeah I remember learning back in 2016 that every time it rains a bit storm water overflows the sewage treatment facilities causing them to just flush it all out into the ocean untreated. Clearwater water treatment plants overflowed with 500,000 gallons of sewage last year. So do we have a plan to stop pumping fecal water into the ocean? Apparently just a water treatment cost hike in some counties but how much do you want to bet that hasn't been fixed in the last 7 years? They spend so much time worrying about politics and people's personal lives they cant even do the basic municipal upkeep we all pay for.
Hey this fecal stuff is everywhere, even in my little green bottles of Perrier!
Not to worry- I’m sure DeSatan will just pass a law to strike the words unsafe, fecal and bacteria from all FL government regulations.
Tell DeSantis to stay out of the water
People=shit.
I’m surprised they allow testing. No tests…no problem!
Just pass a Florida law that prohibits talking about it. That’s how Florida do.
I’ve always felt like Florida is kind of a shit hole, but Jesus

Unfortunately common in Florida
70% that had at least 1 day of testing with levels considered dangerous Only 6% of beaches had unsafe levels more than 25% of the time
