E. coli samples are collected each week from the Chattahoochee River in the Cochran Shoals unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA). This is a heavily used part of the CRNRA - the Atlanta Perimeter (I-285) crosses the Chattahoochee River near the Cochran Shoals Unit, and there are several neighborhoods, apartment complexes and commercial complexes surrounding the park. This area is heavily used by waders, boaters, hikers and fisherman.
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.
