Medical waste continues to wash ashore on Delmarva beaches.  It was first discovered Sunday.  The town of Ocean City made the following announcement:  

Ocean City Beach Patrol, Public Works and Emergency Services have been actively monitoring the waste washing onshore. As of this (Monday) morning, the waste and medical debris on the beach is considerably less than yesterday.

Out of an abundance of caution, the ocean will remain closed to swimming and surfing at this time. We appreciate the public’s cooperation and will continue to provide updates as they become available.
