Through its beach monitoring system, which measures water quality, the New York Parks Department indicated that four spaces are currently closed due to the presence of fecal matter.
“The water quality at the State Park beaches is tested at least weekly for bacterial indicators of poor water quality,” the website notes.
In this sense, the results inform about the presence of the Escherichia coli (E.coli) bacterium. “If it is equal to or greater than 235 E.coli colonies/100 ml, it represents an exceedance of the state standard,” they specify.
