water quality= green/tan bubbles ?

Went for a late afternoon dip at the south end of La Ropa today and for the second time in two months noticed green/tanish bubbles on the surface of the water. The bay was fairly calm. As the fish swims from the sewer treatment plant its a distance, hoping its more a natural phenomenon rather than man induced?

Does the municipality keep any type of regular water quality records and if so, where are the samples taken?

Yes, it's a natural phenomena. Usually not seen in the mornings when we paddle.

The city takes water samples regularly, don't know how often, maybe every 2 weeks. We see them doing their collections. Used to have the site where the results were reported, don't now, but they are regularly posted as hard copy in the alley between The Thompson and Villa Mexicana.

Gracias to me in my more limited weekly dips, the water in the bay does not seem as clear this year.
