Water

Marine coastal water. Beach length 1000 m, width 10 m. Distance between medium-low and high water: 5 m. Astronomical tide range: 30–50 cm.

Location

Ancona, Marche region, Italy. The beach is located along the coast between the Esino and Musone watercourses.

Water Quality

Water quality classification E. Wastewater treatment is managed by the Zipa treatment plant located at via E. Mattei 33, Ancona, serving approximately 90,565 residents from urban areas and 3,290 equivalent inhabitants from productive activities. The plant has a capacity of 25,000 cubic metres per day or 100,000 equivalent inhabitants. Escherichia coli measurements at the treatment plant in 2010 ranged from below detection limits to 3,100 CFU/100 ml, with all results compliant with authorized AIA limits.

Risks

Toxic algal bloom of Ostreopsis ovata occurred in September 2008, causing death of sessile benthic organisms (limpets, sea urchins, mussels) with no effects on people. During overflow events when thresholds are exceeded, wastewater flows through various discharge points along the beach.
