Risks

The bathing area experienced a major incident on 04/04/2007 when fuel oil spilled from the API refinery pipeline into the sea, causing temporary closure until late May 2007. Massive blooms of the non-toxic alga Fibrocapsa japonica occurred in August 2009 and August 2010, causing reddish-brown coloration and oily consistency of water. Overflow points from the sewage system are located along the beach and discharge to different outlets when capacity is exceeded.
