Red flag at 3 sites

(DEQ) — The Division of Environmental Quality analyzed water samples collected from Saipan’s east and south recreational beaches this week.
Samples collected from North Laulau Beach, Unai Dangkulo and Old Man by the Sea contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria — enterococci — that exceeded the CNMI’s Marine Water Quality Standards.
DEQ has given these locations a red flag and advises the public not to fish or swim within 300 feet of these locations for the next 48 hours or until otherwise notified.
