Clean Beaches in Puerto Vallarta
The city government and health officials discredited claims by some media versions that some ofthe beaches in this destination were polluted and not up to standards for people’s recreational use .
It is worth noting that according to the most recent sampling by the Federal Commission for theProtection Against Sanitary Hazards –COFEPRIS— at the port’s main beaches; none of these was over the recommended sea water quality limits; they were all under the rule with the exception of Mismaloya Beach, which was over the limit “due to the presence of strong tides during the month of February”.
It was the very Ministry for the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), who informed that the 226 beaches reported by COFEPRIS, “are within the recommended limits”.
Therefore, the City Hall reiterates that the information circulated was false and without sustain or objectivity, apart from causing great damage to this destination’s image.
