47 NJ Beaches Under Warning: Here Are South Jersey’s
With all of the rain we have had over the past few weeks, New Jersey's beaches are being heavily monitored for bacteria levels. After heavy rainfall the waterways get inundated with run-off which includes high levels of bacteria. While all roads may lead to Rome, all water leads to the ocean.
47 New Jersey beaches tested at high levels of bacteria that is found in both human and animal fecal matter. The water samples from these beaches had more than 104 colony forming units of Enterococci bacteria per 100 milliliters of water, according to NJ.com. 29 of these beaches are in South Jersey. These South Jersey beaches are being closely monitored and are teetering on being closed down until the bacteria levels lower to a safe level.
