Over half of New York’s beaches were contaminated with poop — but almost all remained open: report

By MaryAnn Martinez
July 10, 2023

More than half of New York beaches are contaminated by poop and sewage, according to a shocking report by Environment America.

The group found 57% the 344 state beaches it tested in 2022 had at least one day where “fecal contamination” reached potentially unsafe levels, surpassing the Environmental Protection Agency’s benchmark for beach advisories and closures.

The pollution on Empire State coasts is from human and animal waste dumped into the ocean from sewage overflows, factory farms and industrial livestock operations, the environmental organization explained.

Figures released by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which tests the waters and issues advisories, showed only one public beach in the city had been closed in 2022 due to bad water quality.

Are they also dumping waste into Lake Erie?

Nothing like a corrupt left wing dim not to enforce E. Coli standards when they expect the same when they swim the beaches in Florida.

Huh ???

There aren't any "factory farms" or "industrial livestock operations" on the Connecticut side of Long Island Sound ... at all. The shoreline of the state is filled from one end to the other with VERY expensive real estate.

As to the north shore of Long Island, I can't say for sure, but if there are, they are probably few and far between.
