Tripoli Beaches – Photo Credits: Souad Sbaiti
This is a follow-up on a post I wrote back in April. A sea water monitoring study was conducted by the National Center for Marine Sciences (I had no clue we had such a thing), and this is a summary of the results:
As you can see, most of the beaches that are frequented by Lebanese during the summer are good. Most of the beaches North of Lebanon are clean and Tyr’s beaches are the best. The Jiye & Damour beaches are ok despite the garbage that was being dumped there underwater and Saida’s beach is good after the garbage mountain got removed.
Enjoy the summer!
Interesting!
What is the difference between “excellent “, “good “, etc… any standards for fit for swimming or not? In numbers such as bacterial levels, concentration of chemicals…
Would you be able to share where you got the results? Thanks!
SO some dude woke up in the morning and felt like playing around so he wrote: Good, very good, excellent… And 4 millions people are taking this as a reference to swim in Lebanon? Is this serious? Is our IQ so low? I thought we were all proud of our marvelous high and competitive education… Has anyone heard about scientific approaches to test water’s chemical factors and publish them in a real official serious report?
Yup I live in Jounieh and I can see the nasty sea water color due to the sewage :/
