If you are considering a vacation to the beach and boardwalk, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a health warning on September 1, 2023 for the Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf Coast. The advisory relates to an increase in infection caused by the bacteria Vibrio vulnificus in the United States.

Vibrio vulnificus thrives in warm seawater and poses two significant health risks to people. The bacterium requires saltwater or brackish water to survive. Brackish water is less salty than seawater, but has more salt than freshwater.
