Where do beachfront resorts dispose sewage?
that would be very intelligent,
they reek it up on the beach, throw it back in the water just to have it on the same beach again some hours later when the High Tide goes Down??
here on the east they throw it over their Property off the Beach, plenty of empty space available at the Resorts for that, it is anyways no Seaweed, just Seagrass, nothing problematic with that on their Grounds.

on the Eastshores No waste get's lead into the Ocean, each resort has it's Area to clean their Wastewater.
Mike
There are no waste treatment plants in the barrios that exist along riverbanks, use your imagination where the poo goes!
The following was supposed to happen in 1991, I don't know if it did or not.

This is not the US
We're talking about the DR not the US or Florida. Bacteria wise you will find that most beaces have levels exceeding acceptable levels, in US standards anyway. The Puta Cana area was built up much later that the north coast and technology prevented what has happened elsewhere. This explains why the east coast beaches are so much nicer....in partial.
There was a recent thread that mentioned fical matter floating in the waters on the north coast Puerto to Caberette. This doesn't surprise me as it goes with the flow of the rest of Sosuas decline in tourism. Another Boca Chica.

to be Only on the Level of a average USA Beach would be a clear deep Downgrade for Punta Cana, from the Start of Tourism on the East Coast oceanfront properties been from the beginning under the Obligation of Providing the appropriate Facilities for cleaning Their Sewage, it never has been allowed to Dispose that Stuff into the Ocean.
over the Years We even had Hotels on Hold due not properly working Facilities on the Matter.
an other Plus for the Eastshores is the Fact that here is No Fleet of Large and polluting Vessels available, neither any Kind of Commercial Pollution such as Oil Riggs etc etc.
PC contains the Blue Flagg Quality Feature for most of the Coastline over here, including the Cabeza de Toro Beach 30 Meters from My Veranda.
thanks for the Link, that's real Info

I'm not surprised, LT should be on the top, and like Mike said PC beaches
should be included. I think the currents, stream has alot to do with it. PR has some of the nicest beaches I've seen...Vieques, not far from Culebra, and even after the military occupation still tops the lists.
