July 14, 9 a.m. – No Tar Ball Reports; Beaches Open
Posted on July 14, 2010 by South Walton Update
We have received no tar ball reports this morning, and all 26 miles of our coastline are open for enjoyment.
According to the latest NOAA surface oil forecast, “remote sensing imagery and overflights indicate that oil from the source is continuing to move to the south/southeast and there is very little oil remaining to the north.” Our region remains outside of NOAA’s zone of uncertainty.
At the urging of the Florida Department of Health, the local health department has posted Oil Impact Notices at beach access points, advising beachgoers of health tips to follow if noticeable oil product is present. Beachgoers are advised to exercise personal judgment as conditions can change quickly.
