The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has closed over 60 beaches across the state due to alarming levels of bacteria in the water, posing significant health risks to swimmers. The closures affect popular beaches like Savin Hill Beach in Dorchester and have implications for both local residents and the travel industry.
Los Angeles County officials are warning beachgoers to stay out of the water at several locations due to high levels of bacteria. The affected beaches include:
– The entire swim area near Marie Canyon Storm Drain at Puerco Beach
– 100 yards up and down the coast of Santa Monica Canyon Creek at Will Rogers State Beach
– The entire swim area at Mothers Beach in Marina Del Rey
