Water Quality

Water quality classification: Excellent (2015–2018). Escherichia coli (90th percentile): 17 CFU/100 mL; (95th percentile): 19 CFU/100 mL. Intestinal enterococci (90th percentile): 10 CFU/100 mL; (95th percentile): 10 CFU/100 mL. No short-term pollution events were recorded during bathing seasons 2015–2018. The Bevano stream mouth is located to the south of the area and may cause eutrophication phenomena. No cyanobacteria-related eutrophic events have been reported.

Risks

The Bevano stream mouth to the south may cause eutrophication. Macroalgae proliferation (Ulva genus) occurred in July–August 2018 in the central-northern coastal section, affecting bathing area use during biomass accumulation. Beach erosion is ongoing. The northern zone is subject to sand replenishment interventions. Until 15 July, the area is closed to transit and bathing to protect bird nesting.
