The long view

The state has 878 tests on record for Carl Gray Park over 27 years, starting August 2000. In the last 10 years, 61 tests of 234 (26%) came back Poor, well above the rate for all Florida sampled beaches (6.1%). Bacteria levels usually jump after heavy rain, when stormwater washes to the shore, and drop again within a day or two.
