Haven't dipped a toe in the ocean in many years, probably because I don't live close anymore, but even when I did I had stopped going to the beach due to so many friends and acquaintances getting flesh eating bacteria not only from being in the water but a few of them from just walking barefoot along the water or sitting on the sand. Then on top of all that rattlesnakes started infesting the beach there- first just on Galveston island but then spread out along most of the Bolivar peninsula. That was a big NOPE for me!
As an American it's your responsibility to have your own strategic duck stockpile. You can't expect the government to do it for you.
