Bacteria and toxic algae continue to impact beaches across Massachusetts. Dozens of beaches across Massachusetts remained closed for swimming Monday due to dangerous levels of bacteria and/or algae. Swimming bans were in effect at a total of 41 beaches as of Monday morning. Swimmers from Cape Cod to Western Massachusetts were impacted. State officials recently released an interactive dashboard for this information, which includes a map showing where water quality has been deemed dangerous. North of Boston, a stretch of bacteria-filled water shut down swimming at Ocean Avenue in Salem, Nahant Beach, and Lynn Beach.
