Risks

Potential short-duration pollution events may occur under adverse weather and marine conditions: heavy rainfall, scirocco winds, and river flooding. Identified pollution sources include the Valentinis Canal, Brancolo Canal, Isonzo River, and the Staranzano wastewater treatment plant diffuser. Urban runoff and Isonzo River flooding can cause pollution. Strong southerly winds and high tides can impede freshwater mixing, prolonging pollution persistence. No pollution events were recorded from 2015–2018.
