💩🌊 Dog P**p in Your Yard → Pollution in Our Waterways
🛑 It’s not just your yard — it’s our community.
In Palm Coast, we have 58 miles of freshwater canals that drain directly into the Intracoastal Waterway. These canals are home to native wildlife, recreational fishing, and the natural beauty that makes Flagler County so special.
But here’s the problem...
When you leave dog p**p in your backyard, rain doesn’t leave it behind.
🌧️ How It Happens
Rain picks up bacteria, parasites, and nutrients from dog p**p
It carries them through storm drains and canals
That runoff flows into the Intracoastal Waterway
And that affects:
🐟 Fish populations (oxygen loss from algae blooms)
🐢 Wildlife health (parasites, contaminated water)
🚫 Local water quality for swimming, boating, and fishing
🦠 What’s Hiding in That Pile
Just one gram of dog p**p can contain:
20+ million E. coli bacteria
Parasites like hookworms, roundworms, and giardia
Viruses like parvovirus and other zoonotic threats
These contaminants can survive in the soil for months, get tracked indoors by pets and kids, and eventually reach our water.
