According to the APA, water quality analyses revealed microbiological values ​​above reference parameters, making the water unsuitable for bathing.

After receiving information from the APA, advising against going to bathe on Falésia Açoteias Beach, the Regional Health Authority gave instructions for the red flag to be raised and notices to be placed at the beach access points, banning swimming.

The AMN states in the letter that this ban will remain in place until the results of new water quality analyses indicate that the microbiological values ​​are within the reference parameters.
