<br />c <br /> <br />v <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Samir Elmir continued to say. "Our beach water quality data since 2002 including water <br />quality and beach sanitary surveys indicate that Miami-Dade County beaches <br />including Sunny Isles Beach are generally clean beaches and can safely be visited and <br />enjoyed year round." <br /> <br />To view the Health~s Departments report on Sunny Isles Beach/Pier Park visit: <br /> <br />http://esetapPsdoh.doh.state. fl.us/irmOObeachwa ter /beac hresults.a spx ?cou n tv =Dade <br /> <br />In 20' 0 the City of Sunny Isles beaches have not been closed due to bacteria. The <br />beaches were closed one day as a safety precaution when Tropical Storm Bonnie hit <br />Sunny Isles Beach on Friday, July 23rd. In 2009 the beaches were under advisory in total <br />5 days out of 365 days and the area affected was a small area not the entire two and <br />one half mile expanse of beach. The cases for beach closure revolved around bacteria <br />from possible storm water run off and wildlife including the vast population of pelicans <br />that perch on the Sunny Isles Beach Pier. "All these cases are considered non-point <br />sources of fecal pollution. None of the Miam~Dade County beaches including Sunny <br />Isles Beach are impacted by any point source of fecal pollution. Once the water <br />samples were retested and no bacteria were found, the beach advisories were <br />rescinded." stated Samir Elmir. <br /> <br />As part of the City's ongoing efforts to keep our beaches clean and attractive for <br />residents and visitors. the City of Sunny Isles Beach and Barefoot Wine will partner in a <br />Beach Rescue Project this Saturday, July 3111. The event will be held from 9:00 to 11:00 <br />am at Sam'son Oceanfront Park, 17425 Collins Avenue. The City of Sunny Isles Beach has <br />hosted beach clean ups for the past several months. Past clean ups have included <br />students from Florida International University and the Florida Marlins Community <br />Foundation including team mascot Billy the Marlin. <br /> <br />For more information about the City of Sunny Isles Beach visit the city website at <br />www.sibfl.net or call 305.792.1759. <br /> <br />### <br />
