Advisory lifted for North Shore Park

1 min read

The Florida Department of Health in Lee County has lifted its advisory for high bacteria levels at North Shore Park. Water samples taken Monday, Oct. 6, showed safe levels for wading. This park is posted year round as a non-swimming beach.

North Shore Park, 13001 N. Cleveland Ave, North Fort Myers, is at the foot of the U.S. 41 bridge and used primarily by boaters and anglers.

Enterococcus bacteria normally inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and animals. The presence of an elevated concentration of these bacteria is an indicator of pollution, which may come from storm water runoff, pets, wildlife or sewage.

For more information contact the DOH-Lee Environmental Engineering office at (239) 274-2200 during regular business hours.
