Concerns Rise Over Fecal Pollution at Puerto de la Cruz Fishing Dock: Water Analysis Requested

The Stop platform requested the Ayuntamiento of Puerto de la Cruz yesterday to provide the analytical results conducted at the Fisheries Pier and San Telmo, following the emergence of a large patch of brown foam last Wednesday.

In the request, which this publication has obtained, the platform demands all public and detailed information regarding the investigations carried out by the Ayuntamiento to ascertain the source of the discharge, particularly concerning the possibility that it may be linked to the waste water affecting Playa Jardín, which has been closed for swimming for seven months. They also seek the analyses performed by the General Directorate of Public Health of the Canary Islands Government, “as stated by the government spokesperson, Pedro Antonio,” along with the opened file and any penalties imposed on the fisherman who discharged the dead fish at the dock.

According to Tania Hernández, president of the platform, and Juan Rumeu, president of the Canarian business association of environmental consultants, these foamy formations are cyanobacteria resulting from organic matter interacting with various natural elements and stem from wastewater. This explanation contrasts with that of the mayor, Leopoldo Afonso, and the Councilor for General Services, Alonso Acevedo, who claimed that the sea was “agitated and when this happens, brown foam forms.”

The mayor noted that the General Directorate of Public Health of the Government of the Canary Islands and the Ministry of Ecological Transition conduct regular analyses along the coast of Puerto de la Cruz, which have so far indicated that the water quality in the dock, San Telmo, and Martiánez areas “is also suitable for swimming.”

Public health officials confirmed these “excellent” results from the latest municipal analyses.
