Red flag raised at 1 site
(DEQ) — The Division of Environmental Quality has raised the red flag on 1 site on Saipan and advises the public not to fish or swim within 300 feet of this location for the next 48 hours or until otherwise notified.
Samples collected from Tanapag Meeting Hall on Saipan contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria — enterococci — that exceeded the CNMI’s marine water quality standards.
These bacteria can indicate the presence of human and animal waste in the water.
Managaha and Tinian beaches are assigned a green flag.
Marine Water Quality Reports are also provided at www.deq.gov.mp/section.aspx?secID=4 and http://www.cnmicoralreef.net/wq/beachcloseweeklyresults.htm .
