The Collier County Department of Health has a warning about several county beaches.

The DOH says water quality tests at Residents Beach, Tiger Tail Beach, and South Marco Beach did not meet recreational criteria for Enterococcus bacteria.

They suggest people avoid swimming at these beaches for the time being, because of an increased risk of illness.

When you elect moronic assholes like meatball ron DeSantis, you have to deal with the consequences. DeSantis said he vetoed the Clean Beaches Act because he believed it gave the Florida Department of Health too much power over local governments. This bill would have kept beachgoers safe and informed regarding the risks of swimming when recreating in Florida's beach waters.
