Local health officials in Massachusetts monitor bacteria levels at over 1,100 beaches, with testing frequency determined by the beach's risk for water quality issues.

Beach visits provide relief from summer heat, but over 20 beaches across the U.S. are closed due to high bacteria levels, as reported by the State of Massachusetts.

Two beaches in South Australia have been closed after unusual off-white foam and dead fish washed ashore, and surfers reported feeling unwell.
