Maryland, Delaware beaches on alert after hazardous materials wash ashore
https://nypost.com/2024/09/22/lifestyle/popular-vacation-destinations-on-alert-after-hazardous-materials-wash-ashore/Several popular beaches along the Maryland and Delaware coast were closed to swimming after medical waste, including needles, washed ashore last week.
Swimming was prohibited at beaches that included Ocean City, Maryland, and Fenwick Island, Delaware, and both state and federal beaches on Assateague Island, which is part of Maryland and Virginia.
In a social media post, the Town of Ocean City said last Sunday that its emergency services team is actively addressing the recent discovery of medical waste that washed onto the beach.
“To ensure the safety of all residents and visitors, Ocean City Beach Patrol has temporarily closed the ocean for swimming, and we urge everyone to adhere to this closure until further notice,” the post read.
