description  Cullera Bay, located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, is influenced by the Júcar River outflow and by an sewage outfall that discharges wastewaters in the vicinity of the river mouth. Within the framework of the ECOSUD project, five sampling campaigns were conducted between July 2002 and April 2003 at 11 stations distributed along the coast of the bay and in the area of the sewage pipe, in order to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of bacteria (faecal coliforms, enterococci and Escherichia coli) in the seawater and thus detect possible dangerous zones for recreational use of the beaches, based on the guidelines established by the European Environmental Commission. In general, Cullera Bay was found to have good water quality; however, the discharges from both the river and sewage outfall affect the coastal zone, the increase in bacterial concentration diminishing the quality of the bathing waters, especially during the summer months when tourism peaks. Moreover, as a result of additional inputs of sporadic sources of pollution in the area of Cape Cullera, the maximum permissible values established for faecal coliforms (2000 CFU 100 mL–1), enterococci (200 CFU 100 mL–1) and E. coli (500 CFU 100 mL–1) were exceeded. Considering that the currents are driven by seasonal winds, the northern area could eventually become an additional source of contaminating bacteria to the beaches that currently have good water quality.

En el marco del proyecto ECOSUD se llevaron a cabo cinco campañas de muestreo entre julio de 2002 y abril de 2003, en 11 estaciones distribuidas a lo largo de la costa y en el emisor submarino, para determinar la distribución espaciotemporal de la calidad bacteriológica (coliformes fecales, Escherichia coli y enterococos) del agua de mar con la finalidad de detectar posibles áreas peligrosas para usos recreativos y de baño de las playas de la bahía, según los estándares determinados por la Comisión Ambiental Europea. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, en general, la zona costera de Bahía Cullera mantiene una buena calidad en sus aguas de baño. Sin embargo, la influencia de las descargas tanto del emisario submarino como del Río Júcar tiene un impacto en la zona costera, donde el aumento de la concentración bacteriológica disminuye la calidad de las aguas, sobretodo en los meses de verano cuando la actividad turística es intensa. El aporte adicional de fuentes esporádicas de contaminación en la zona del Cabo Cullera ocasiona un incremento por encima del valor máximo permisible de concentración de bacterias (2000 UFC 100 mL–1 para coliformes fecales, 200 UFC –1 para enterococos y 500 UFC 100 mL–1 para E. coli). Además, tomando en cuenta que el patrón de corrientes está controlado por el régimen estacional de los vientos, la zona norte podría llegar a ser una futura fuente adicional de bacterias contaminantes a las zonas de la playa, que hasta hoy mantienen una buena calidad de agua. Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California2006-06-232021-06-03T03:55:10Z2021-06-03T03:55:10Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed research noteNota de investigación arbitradaapplication/pdfhttps://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/105810.7773/cm.v32i21.1058 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7397Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 32 No. 2 (2006); 311-318Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 32 Núm. 2 (2006); 311-3182395-90530185-3880reponame:Repositorio Institucional de la UABCSinstname:Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Surinstacron:UABCSenghttps://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/1058/942info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorioinstitucional.uabc.mx:20.500.12930/73972024-09-18T21:36:55Z
