This site is at a boat ramp below Hwy 92 in Clayhatchee. The river from the bridge upstream a little past U.S. Highway 84 is classified as Fish and Wildlife. Below the Hwy 92 bridge the river use classification includes swimming. There is a nice beach area opposite the boat ramp and the area is moderately to heavily used with a lot of swimming and wading in the vicinity of the bridge.
ADEM's failure to classify the reach of the Choctawhatchee River upstream of Hwy 92 with a swimming use designation is in our opinion a clear violation of the Clean Water Act and we are collecting data at two upstream sites that may help to correct this problem with the use classification.

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.
