Water Quality

Water quality is monitored through self-monitoring (autosurveillance) conducted by SDEI during summer seasons. Monitoring data from 2008 to 2010 has been analysed. Short-term pollution events have been documented. The bathing area is subject to microbiological monitoring.

Risks

Potential risks include cyanobacteria proliferation, phytoplankton blooms, macroalgae, jellyfish, macro-debris pollution, and hydrocarbon pollution. The area is vulnerable to urban wastewater discharges, stormwater runoff from separate and combined sewer systems, agricultural runoff, and bird-related pollution. Storm overflow structures and potential network failure points have been identified as sources of contamination.
