The sea water of the Dubrovnik – Neretva County have been tested for the ninth time this summer season to make sure they comply with the Program for the Determination of Sea Quality.

From the 14th to the 22nd of September the 116 beaches of the county were tested and 115 passed the testing whilst only the beach in Mlini failed due to “short term” pollution. Additional samples of the bathing water in Mlini were taken on the 16th, 18th and 19th of September and a control sample on the 22nd of September after which the Mlini sea water was passed.

Out of a total of 116 beaches the sea water at 113 beaches was rated as a sea of outstanding quality. On the Srebreno beaches in Župa dubrovačka and Okuklje on the island of Mljet the sea was of good quality, while the sea on the beach in Ston was of satisfactory quality.
