A water-contact advisory concerns the water at a particular monitored area. Read the agency notice and posted signs for the location you plan to use. This page does not issue or lift an advisory.
Historical Enterococcus Samples
The Water Quality Portal query covers all three coastal counties over the past 90 days. It can include inland sites and delayed submissions. Records retain source measurement units and detection qualifiers; they are not matched automatically to a beach or converted into advisories.

Enterococcus sample records for Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties from the past 90 days. These may include inland sites and delayed submissions; they are not current beach advisories. Values retain source units and detection qualifiers.
No validated records are available for this query.
Reading the status panel
- Water-contact advisory or closure: the service reports an agency notice.
- No advisory reported: both source flags are clear and a sample date is supplied; this is not a safety guarantee.
- Status unavailable: a required field is missing or the source cannot provide a current validated snapshot.
Retrieval time describes when the service was checked. Sample time describes when sampling occurred. A recent retrieval does not turn an old sample into a new one.
