I heard they were closing from ecofina to lanark for the summer due to a huge sewage spill. Is this true?

nothing on fwc website. appears to be a nasty rumor by disgruntled locals.

Maybe it all started with that lady kayaker who is/was touring the coast to promote the cause for ocean health. While I support the cause, I thought she went a little over the top when she said to the press that the area at mouth of Econfina was so polluted that it burned her eyes/skin (or so I hear second-hand).

Thats is true i think every one but locals need to stay away and not contact the eye burn and the skin sore's that is cuz by the water outside of the Econfina river

Yep. Lots of do do floating in the water around Lanark and St Marks. Season closed for sure!!

Does anyone know what or why the sludge has stayed around Bald Pt? It extends westward from the mouth of the O.
It is 3-4" deep and stinks. You can see the discoloration going outward from shore.

I have heard that there was a herd of wild pigs that were sick swimming in the Econfina and Aucilla rivers. I would definitely stay out of the waters in that area....

Gald you brought that up dubble i seen them also maybe 60 all had bad sick big weeping sore and pus runing out bad for scalloping in the mouths of both rivers and he flats

With this heat the water temps will be perfect for the breeding of nasty bacteria.

Yeah. Scallops are illegal AND deadly. Spread the word!

I'm sure the folks that run the Marinas, Fish Camps, motels, restaurants, etc. that depend on revenues from the season really appreciate you boys spreading the word about all the sick pigs, fecal matter and nuclear waste! Good job.

You know we are only trying to help

There IS something out there......around Bald Pt. I also read another report from the Lanark area about a bad smell at low tide, a really bad smell.

Do these businesses want sick visitors?
