Sunset Beach Setoda gets top grade for cleanliness this year
All 17 of Hiroshima prefecture's main swimming beaches got the environmental agency's seal of approval on Thursday. Getting a top rating of "AA" on the 5 step scale were Ｓｅｔｏｄａ Ｓｕｎｓｅｔ Ｂｅａｃｈ in the Seto Naikai and Kenminohama in Kure. A bit worrying, however, is that Tsutsumigaura on Miyajima, Bayside Beach Saka and Karugahama in Kure dropped from last year's "AA" ranking to "B".
Water quality was surveyed during May. The surveys measure COD, Fecal Coliform Bacteria Count, water clarity, oil pollution and presence of E coli 0157. The Chugoku Shinbun report caharcteristically gives scant details, but the results of last year's survey can be seen here so I expect the full results for this year should trun up here at some point.
The good news is that none of the beaches got "C" or the lowest 不適 or "Gross" grades.
