Water quality

The last two days in Ixtapa the ocean water quality has greatly improved. No more Red Tide visible. Water clarity is also much better..........

My neighbor took a walk on la Playa Buenavista yesterday afternoon. In less than a km, he counted over 100 dead fish and a dead turtle.

May not be time yet to jump back into the ocean.

What an odd translation.

The government is trying really hard not to acknowledge what every coastal dweller and fisherman on the Costa Grande of Guerrero knows: it's red tide that's been around since mid-January (go back and check the messages of its initial arrival as green foam). It's now in its final most unpleasant stage. No, it's not toxic to humans (unless we eat the shellfish that it's poisoned), BUT HUMANS DON'T WANT TO SWIM IN FETID GREEN WATER WITH DEAD FISH either. The government is afraid of being accused of amarillismo as well as of being responsible for tourist cancellations.
