Water Quality

Water quality is classified according to Directive 2006 bacteriological standards. Monitoring includes bacteriological analysis and assessment of shellfish cultivation zones and foot-collection areas. Potential pollution sources have been inventoried and characterized, including wastewater treatment discharges, storm overflow outlets, diffuse pollution from agriculture and tourism infrastructure, and accidental contamination sources.

Risks

Potential risks include macro-algae proliferation, phytoplankton proliferation, jellyfish invasion episodes, and contamination from wastewater discharges, storm overflows, and non-collective sanitation systems. Water quality is influenced by rainfall and wind conditions.
