When it comes to exactly what towns should do when cyanobacteria is detected at their beaches, there are no set of state- or even county-issued protocols in place for local health officials to follow. The state has a set of guidelines; however, how closely those guidelines are followed are left largely to the discretion of local health agents, unlike when E. coli is detected and beaches are legally required to be closed until those levels drop. “There’s a process and everybody adheres to it,” said Sandwich Health Agent David Mason of the E. coli requirements. Having a protocol makes it easier to answer the phone and inform someone as to why a particular beach is closed. No such protocol exists when it comes to cyanobacteria, leaving things up to the interpretation of each town.
