Vacation still beautiful
Bathers don’t care about algae slime in Croatia
Muted joy on Croatia's coast. At the moment, some bays off Pula are in the grip of algae slime. Nevertheless, bathers are not letting it spoil their vacation.
The beaches look murky and the water has taken on an unappetizing brown hue. A mixture of algae and sludge significantly impairs the water quality. In addition, the unpleasant odor makes spending time on the beach less pleasant. The high temperatures and excess nutrients - such as fertilizers and sewage - in the water are the main causes of the algae bloom.
The local authorities advise people to avoid the water for the time being, as health risks cannot be ruled out. Anyone who does go into the water should take a good shower afterwards. The environmental authorities are already working hard to contain the problem.
However, many beachgoers are ignoring the warnings and enjoying the sea as much as possible, although some of them are clearly disappointed by the changed conditions. This is also shown in videos on TikTok.
Recently, Italy also had to contend with similar problems. In some parts of the Adriatic, particularly in the Gulf of Trieste, Ravenna, Rimini and Ancona, there were massive algae blooms.
