Graphic from County of San Diego Water Quality Program website.
The County’s water quality program has issued a stunning number of advisories for Ocean Beach and Point Loma.
Count them – there’s five! And all because “Bacteria levels may exceed health standards,” and people are cautioned to “Avoid water contact in the advisory area.”
Here they are, verbatim:
