Lebanon’s National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS-L) published its 38th annual report regarding the “environmental reality of the Lebanese coast.”
Based on the bacterial tests that took place to examine the safety of the waters along Lebanon’s coastline, it was found that 24 out of 37 sites are good and safe to swim in.
Ranging from north to south, these sites are characterized by low bacterial and organic contamination, and the concentration of fecal bacteria is less than the permissible levels.
Additionally, the general environmental condition of the waters of these sites ranges from good to very good, according to the report.
