The homeless encampment on the beach at th Santa Monica Venice boarder known as No Man's Land is finally gone. For months this encampment was allowed to stay on the beach because neither city wanted to deal with it. Santa Monica Police would push the tents over to the Venice side of the border, LAPD would allow the tents to stay up on the border, throwing blame on Santa Monica. During the week, the Sherrif's Departement held a press conference to discuss the homeless problems on the beach. At the end of the week, SMPD and LAPD joined up with the help of St Joseph’s Center, the People’s Concern, and Los Angeles Parks and Rec to finally clean up the ever growing encampment.



"Our primary objective remains educating those in violation of Santa Monica municipal codes and State laws, enforcing violations when necessary, and connecting individuals with all available resources to minimize habitual and chronic offenders from returning." announced SMPD.

OCEAN WATER QUALITY RAIN ADVISORY has been issued lasting through Tuesday, September 13th at 10:30AM. A rain advisory is issued when there is significant rainfall that may cause bacteria levels in ocean waters to increase.

An Ocean Water Quality Rain Advisory has been declared for all Los Angeles County beaches. The advisory will be in effect at least until 07:30 am, Friday, December 17, 2021 (72 hours after significant rainfall). Beach users should avoid water contact for at least 72 hours after significant rainfall. This advisory may be extended depending upon further rainfall.

Because of the recent rainfall, Los Angeles County Health Officer, Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, is cautioning residents that bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas are likely to contaminate ocean waters at and around discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers after a rainfall. Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill.

A rain advisory is issued when there is significant rainfall that may cause bacteria levels in ocean waters to increase. Bacteria levels can increase significantly during and after rainstorms, as contaminants within the runoff enters the ocean. Bacteria levels may remain elevated up to 3 days depending upon the intensity of the rain and the volume of runoff. Elevated bacteria levels in ocean water may cause illness, especially in children and the elderly. The Department of Public Health recommends that beach users avoid contact with ocean water for a period of 3 days after significant rainfall, especially near flowing storm drains, creeks and rivers.
