Guam - The number of polluted beaches around the island has
decreased from weeks past. A dozen beaches made this week's list as samples
taken by the Guam Environmental Protection Agency identified several
recreational waters as being polluted above accepted bacteriological standards.
Those waters are East Hagatna Bay, Trinchera Beach, Asan Bay
Beach, Piti Bay, Santos Memorial Park, Bangi Beach, Umatac Bay, Toguan Bay, Inarajan
Pool, Inarajan Bay, Talofofo Bay, First Beach and Pago Bay. Swimming or fishing in these waters is
strongly discouraged, as you could become sick.
