Brown water advisory halts swimming and ocean activities

Original: Officials advise no swimming, ocean recreation activities because of brown water advisory

Officials have issued a brown water advisory and are advising the public to stay out of the ocean, warning against swimming and all ocean recreation activities. Brown water advisories typically follow heavy rainfall, when runoff carrying debris, pollutants and bacteria flows into coastal waters and raises health risks for those entering the water.

Why now: Recent heavy rainfall or flooding likely caused runoff into coastal waters, prompting a public health warning.
