Warning given by a local government to avoid swimming in a body of water
Beach Advisory Warning Sign in Orange Beach, Alabama
A beach advisory is a warning given by a local government to avoid swimming in a body of water.[1] Beach advisories do not automatically close bodies of water to swimmers but instead function as a warning to swimmers against swimming at a particular site.[2]
Beach advisories are issued after unsafe levels of Enterococcus are detected at sample sites along a body of water, often resulting from high levels of fecal matter in the water.[1] One source of waste pollution and subsequent increase in enteroccus concentration may come from migrating birds.[3] Enterococcus bacteria is not harmful by itself, but it indicates harmful bacteria is in the water. These types of bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illnesses, resulting in vomiting and diarrhea.[1][3] They may also cause upper respiratory illness as well as skin infections at an open wound.[3]
Beach advisories are also issued after chemical spills.[4] Beach advisories are often issued after rain advisories because high amounts of rain can cause contaminated streamflow from flooding to enter a body of water and contaminate the swimming area.[4][5]
