The long view

The state has 74 tests on record for Coral Cove Park over 27 years, starting July 2000. In the last 10 years, 3 tests of 20 (15%) 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.
