[High-Res]
I posted few days that Lebanese beaches are no longer safe for swimming according to a study published in the DailyStar and a statement from the Green Party’s President Nada Zaarour. However and as pointed out by Habib, Zaarour’s statement contradicts with the study results as shown in the map (which is not clear) in the same article.
I looked for a bigger and clearer map and was able to find one on Afedmag.com that you can check [Here].
It doesn’t mean we don’t have a pollution problem but at least there are still plenty of beaches where one can swim in Lebanon, such as Chekka, Batroun, Amchit, AUB beach, Damour, Jiyyeh, Rmeileh, Tyr and Naccoura.
There’s something still confusing me though, how samples collected from Jbeil and Sidon all measured above the 100 fecal coliforms mark, and samples collected in Mina and Sidon came back borderline toxic, yet the map shows Sidon, Jbeil and Tripoli beaches as acceptable.
There is no way whatsoever Saida’s beach is considered to be safe to swim in

K is right, no way saida is safe seriously. And the other day I was in jiyyeh and there was small peices of plastic and garbage floating around the water! AND my body has been itching me for 2 days!! Stick to the pools ppl they’re lying to you because they’re afraid of losing their mawsam. Remember they fed us rotten meat and said t was safe, sooo don’t think beach pollution is the worst of their problems..
No confusion najib. It is obvious that little jo created the map!
Seriously; how can it be possible that beaches next to each other can be safe and contaminated…as if there are no currents in the water and each beach is freaking 1,000 km long! Tell the creator of the map to put orange dots to attract tourists. 😛
The whole coastline should be a red line with biohazard symbols and that little nuclear thingy….oh, and dollar signs.
Your last paragraph invalidates everything you wrote before it. You want an answer to your question?
dots represent:
Paid
Unpaid
Going to pay
Result: sick country
Bikoun they took samples from the spot where the egouts comes so they got high fcm numbers
We went to a beach in jounieh a week ago and while going down for a swim along with the plastic bags and other crap u see floating there was also a condom floating around between the kids and people and frankly they didnt seem to give a shit they just laughed and continued soaking next to it. Needless to say we didnt really swim that day.
