Manatee County Government and Suncoast Waterkeeper, a nonprofit agency dedicated to protecting and restoring local water, both of which monitor results for Palma Sola Bay among other bodies of water, show that the bay area is not meeting state surface water standards for enterococci bacteria and, as a result, FDEP listed it Oct. 10 as an impaired water.
