Water Quality

Classification: Excellent (2008-2011). No coastal wastewater treatment plants, discharge pipes, or Imhoff tanks are present in the area. The Ligurian Sea is not characterized by cyanobacterial blooms due to prevailing oligotrophic conditions. No cases of potentially toxic algal strain proliferation have occurred in the last 4 years.

Risks
