The coast of Tenerife is being hit by various bacteria and no one knows exactly why. The City Council recommended this Friday not to bathe on Las Gaviotas beach due to the appearance of hydrocarbon remains and detected this same substance near the fishermen’s association in Las Teresitas. The mayor of the capital city, José Manuel Bermúdez, has requested this week the Government of the Canary Islands and the State Administration in Tenerife, Coasts, Maritime Captaincy and Port Authority to urgently investigate the provenance of this substance. Something similar has also happened in Candelaria and Arafo.
This same Friday the City Council of Granadilla has provisionally prohibited bathing on the beaches of Leocadio Machado, El Médano and Los Abrigos, because it was detected that the parameter of the microbe Escherichia coli (E.coli) is above average.
The puddles of Los Silos, with dead fish
The puddle of Los Chochos (Los Silos), also in Tenerife, has dawned on the morning of this Friday with dozens of dead fish on the surface. In statements to this newspaper, the municipal body affirms that the pool has suffered the “fish tank effect, because of the heat and as there was no renewal with the high tide of the water, there was no oxygen and some fish appeared floating.” However, the Consistory has decided to take samples of the water and send them to be analyzed in case it is not the hypothesis that is being considered so far.
