On a day when two Martin County beaches remain off limits to swimmers Martin County government officials have declared a local state of emergency due to toxic blue green algae in area waterways.
It’s in effect for the next 7 day period.
The declaration states that the algae pose a danger to health, life, property and the economic well-being of Martin County residents.
It allows the government to waive procedures and formalities to ensure the health and safety of the community.
Stuart & Bathtub beaches remain closed for swimming.
