The Division of Environmental Quality has cleared the beaches of Mañagaha Island this week after samples collected showed no excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria.

DEQ analyzes water samples collected from Mañagaha’s recreational beaches and dock as part of the regularly scheduled sampling.

“None of the samples collected contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria nor did they exceed the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards. Therefore, DEQ assigns all of the sampled beach sites a Green Flag. Enjoy our waters,” the agency said.

DEQ analyzed a total of 11 samples from the shore surrounding Mañagaha this week. DEQ welcomes all inquiries as to the quality of the beach water. The public is encouraged to contact DEQ at 664-8500 with any questions concerning this matter. (PR)
