a beach bacteria warning means that at least one bacterial Standard
has been exceeded... but there is no known source of human sewage.
A beach warning alerts the public of a possible risk of illness
associated with water contact. Warning may also be posted where
sources of contamination are identifiable and can be explained as
not of human origin (e.G... . resident marine mammals or seabirds).
Please avoid contact with the water at this time.
