Poop advisory lifted for Key Biscayne’s Dog Beach

The latest poop from Miami-Dade’s Florida Department of Health office: the amount of poop — or other bacteria — on Key Biscayne’s Dog Beach waters is low enough for swimming again.

On Wednesday, the department lifted its swimming advisory issued last Thursday. Monday’s microbial water tests were “satisfactory.”

According to the department's website, water tests May 3 and 4 rated “poor” (at least 70.5 Enterococcus per 100 milliliters of water) with “increased risk of infectious disease.” Monday’s water test came up “good” (35 Enterococcus or lower per 100 ml per water).
