Water Quality

Water quality monitoring was conducted from 2000 to 2010 under the previous directive, with reclassification following the 2006 directive implementation. Bacteriological quality was monitored for E. coli and enterococci. A specific water quality study was performed in 2010. Water quality is influenced by rainfall events, drainage systems, and bird presence.

Risks

Potential pollution from drainage systems and sewage infrastructure, bird populations on the beach, and occasional flow discharges from the embankment. Macro-algae and phytoplankton proliferation potential was assessed.
