A total of seven beaches were found to be polluted above the accepted bacteriological standards this week.

The Guam Environmental Protection Agency confirmed these include Nimitz Beach, Togcha Beach Bridge, and Togcha Beach Cemetery in Hagat; Asan Bay Beach; Tanguisson Beach in Dededo; Piti Bay; and East Hagatna Bay’s Trinchera Beach in Tamuning.

Officials caution swimming, fishing or playing in unsafe waters may result in minor illnesses.

Additionally, Guam EPA officials advise harvesting or consumption of seaweed, fish or marine organisms is not allowed at Tanguisson Beach.
