The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County has lifted the health alert issued on May 31 for the presence of harmful blue-green algal toxins in Bull Creek north of the Bull Creek Fish Camp.
Follow-up water samples taken by the Department of Environmental Protection did not detect algal toxins, indicating that the public may resume water-related activities.
Exercise caution and good judgement: Blue-green algae blooms can move around or subside and then reappear when conditions are favorable again.
Avoid contact with the water if blooms are observed.
