Is there an issue with harmful bacteria in the gulf water of 30A area. I’m staying in prominence next week.
I heard a couple of weeks ago there was a problem. If anyone has any info, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

What's up with the fecal bacteria? Any idea how long this will be around? Don't want to spend our vacation next week being able to look but not touch :(
