PARK WATERS PRONOUNCED SAFE FOR SWIMMING

V.I. National Park authorities gave the go-ahead Thursday for swimming to resume at beaches in the park.
A National Park Service advisory a day earlier had warned swimmers to stay out of the water until testing had been completed to determine whether it had been contaminated by Hurricane Debby-related runoff.
"The testing has been done, and everything is fine," park ranger Schuyler Browne said.
Officials announced that, overall, "the park appears to be in fine shape."
