Recreational Water Illnesses
DNREC monitors waterbodies commonly used for swimming and other recreational activities by testing for Enterococcus bacteria, a harmless bacteria found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals (including humans). While Enterococcus doesn’t cause illnesses, it serves as an indicator for pathogens, harmful bacteria and viruses that are also found in the intestine.Monitoring Shorelines
