PESCARA. A Sunday at the seaside, with an orange heat. Ideal for diving into the water in search of a bit of refreshment. But the phenomenon of mucilage, which has been appearing on the coast for a few days, is causing discussion. And this picture that emerges for Pescara is impressive. Many comments on social media from users expressing concern and perplexity, recalling that the Adriatic capital has once again achieved the Blue Flag but, with this situation, it doesn’t really make you want to swim.
Mucilage in the sea, the Arta: “No danger to the health of swimmers”
The regional environmental protection agency says that this is a phenomenon “found on almost the entire coast”
Yet Arta, with an official note, reassured everyone by saying that the situation “does not represent a danger to the health of swimmers”. Even the president of Sib Abruzzo Riccardo Padovano intervenes on the mucilage found in the last hours in the sea, expressing optimism: “From the data provided by Arta – he explains – it is clear that our sea is cleaner than ever. It is true that there are stretches of mucilage offshore and also near the coast, but it is not an alarming situation, on the contrary it is completely under control”, he writes in a note.
And he adds: “As can be seen from the data, the sea situation is excellent. The sea is clean. We are available to bathers and if anyone in the establishments wants to take an extra shower they can do so without any problems. This episode of mucilage occurred in the heat but it is only aesthetic and in no way compromises the state of our waters which, I repeat, is excellent”, concludes Padovano.
