The long view

The state has 919 tests on record for Liza Jackson Park over 27 years, starting July 2000. In the last 10 years, 65 tests of 206 (32%) 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.
