According to Notícias ao Minuto, the information was released this morning by the National Maritime Authority (AMN), who added that the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) determined that the water was “unsuitable for bathing”.

“After receiving information from the APA advising against swimming at Amoreira beach, the Regional Health Authority gave instructions for the red flag to be hoisted and notices to be placed at the access points to the beach, prohibiting swimming,” he added.

In this regard, the ban will remain in force “until the results of new water quality analyses indicate that the microbiological values ​​are within the reference parameters”.
