Notice: Long Island Sound Water Warning
The State Dept. of Health is advising shoreline residents that Vibrio vulnificus has been found in the water which can lead to severe infections in which the flesh around an open wound dies. Anyone with open wounds, cuts, scrapes, have had a recent operation or has a compromised immune system is advised to stay out of the water. This warning relates to dogs as well.
Ms. Fava said, “We hope everyone will follow these regulations and be respectful of other dogs and beach users. We appreciate your cooperation.”
