ResuZIHtarse con Nosotros

My wife and I are astounded at the clarity of the water in our bay. We haven't seen it this clear in well over two decades! The bottom of the bay is visible from the end of the pier. Absolutely beautiful. Let's hope this becomes the norm again. Now's a real good time to go diving or snorkeling at Playa Manzanillo.

Rob, is there a consensus for why the water clarity has come back? Is it because of the far fewer tourists? Has the city government done anything to mitigate the pollution? Are there any new regulations at work?

Wastewater treatment plants now appear to be working properly, at least the ones by Las Salinas lagoon. The espigón at Puerto Mío that has been blocking the currents for years has deteriorated quite a bit, much of it collapsing and allowing some normalcy in the currents that used to keep our bay clean and clear, and Puerto Mío is not allowed to repair it by court order. There is much less activity in the bay. Less charter boat activity and less water taxis. Of course it could be that none of the above matters and it was just a fluke chance event.

Will be interesting to hear what you see there in another week or two. Please report back.

That's great news about the clarity of the bay! Can't wait to get down there and see it for myself.

Except that this morning when we went to see if it was still clear... it wasn't. The clarity only lasted about 3 days. Hopefully it will return. It certainly gives us hope.
