State environmental officials lifted all advisories against any swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, after elevated bacteria levels were found earlier this week.
The advisories usually only last a day or two, according to the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. Officials test the waters periodically and report if elevated bacteria levels are found.
