Mexico's National Water Commission certified Nuevo Vallarta North Beach II, making this destination the most successful in this matte
Sayulita is also working to attain this certification, and this Saturday everyone's invited to celebrate the World Environment Day by doing a beach cleanup and participating in a Surfathon.
This year, Riviera Nayarit confirmed its commitment as a national leader in clean beach certifications by obtaining a certification for Nuevo Vallarta North Beach II, which extends from the north end of Marival Resort & Suites up to Dreams Villa Magna and the ETC beach club. Four beaches have been certified in this destination, taking Riviera Nayarit one step further in this matter by having the largest number of certified beaches in Mexico.
The Nuevo Vallarta North Beach II certification was announced at the inauguration of the VI Clean Beach Convention, which took place at Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, sponsored by the National Water Commission, headed by Jose Luis Luege Tamargo, who also granted the certification to other three Mexican touristic destinations.
El Palmar at Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Miramar at Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas and the recertification of El Chileno at Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, were the other three destinations that received the award, for a total of 12 certified beaches in Mexico, including Nuevo Vallarta South, Nuevo Vallarta North I, and Bucerias, in Riviera Nayarit.
• EVERYONE'S INVITED TO SAYULITA'S BEACH CLEANUP EVENT
Luege Tamargo mentioned that eleven beaches in Mexico are currently working to attain the certification. One of them is Playa Los Muertos at Sayulita, also in Riviera Nayarit. The community has joined efforts with local authorities, not only to clean the beach but all the ones located on the touristic strip.
To celebrate World Environment Day on June 5, everyone was invited to participate in a beach cleanup event being organized at Sayulita at Don Pedro's restaurant and at Punta Sayulita's beach club.
After the cleanup event, was a simultaneous Surfathon in Sayulita, at a beach in California and at another beach in Florida. Celebrities surf Stand up Paddle in a fundraiser to grant scholarships at the Costa Verde School, the only bilingual school that focuses on environmental education in Sayulita.
HARD WORK THROUGHOUT THE STATE
All the beaches in Riviera Nayarit are monitored once per week to ensure that the water quality is ideal for swimmers. The results of these tests are being posted next to signs that display the public income for these beaches.
This work is being done under the direct orders of the state governor Ney Gonzalez Sanchez, who has decided to go one step further in what the national norm stipulates to ensure we have clean beaches. The norm requires monthly testing and deems the water to be apt for recreational activities when it has less than 200 enterococci per 100 mililiters of water. In this state, most beaches have been tested and the count is usually below 100 enterococci, which is well below the international norm. Email to a friend
