**We are currently issuing a special warning for Perdido Bay sites due to the presence of a lyngbya algal bloom. We do not recommend swimming if you are seeing the bloom in your water. The algae itself can cause skin irritation and potentially stomach illness. The bloom can also cause increased levels of fecal indicator bacteria such as E. coli and Enterococcus. At this time we have no evidence there has been a sewage spill or other release of human fecal matter but we continue to monitor the issue. This special warning is separate from the usual ADEM testing at these sites.
Please email ckistler@mobilebaykeeper.org or mdiskin@mobilebaykeeper.org if you have questions.**
Camp Dixie is located on Perdido Bay. Camp Dixie was founded in 1952 by the Lutheran Layman's League at five area congregations. Camp Dixie is a summer camp and retreat facility.

Onsite amenities include a challenge course, outside chapel, picnic areas, campfire site, dorms and cooking facility. If interested, please contact the facility directly at 251-987-1201.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
