Popular Bali beach closed by pollution
Bali’s popular beachfront of Kuta has been placed off limits due to pollution.
Local media blames the problem on flotsam brought ashore by seasonal winds “in combination with a massive plankton infestation that has turned the water on the beach into an unappetising dark brown colourâ€.
Bali Update (www.balidiscovery.com) reports that tourists have been advised not to swim in the ocean at Kuta in order to avoid skin rashes or other potential health risks.
Local health officials have visited the beach and taken samples of the water for further analysis.
The high levels of bacterial pollution have also been linked to the large amounts of waste discharged into the sea where it is interacting with high water temperatures.
Checks at beaches at Jimbaran, Nusa Dua and Sanur in the southern part of the island suggest that the pollution problem is limited to the main beach areas at Kuta.
