Red Water Coloration on Soliman and El Jahmi Beaches is of Natural Origin
Recently, tourists visiting the beaches of Soliman and El Jahmi have observed a striking red coloration of the waters. Souad Chettouti, a member of the Soliman Environmental Protection Association, has put an end to rumors of industrial pollution by confirming that this visually impressive phenomenon is caused by the massive proliferation of a species of red algae whose pigmentation reflects on the surface of the sea.
Field investigations conducted by the association's team have definitively ruled out the hypothesis of wastewater discharge from local factories or sewage treatment plants. Immediate visual analyses have shown that the water samples collected in control flasks were perfectly clear and transparent, confirming the absence of chemical or organic contaminants at the time of inspection.
It was the scientific observation of the samples that allowed for the formal identification of the presence of Rhodophyta, a naturally red micro-algae. The association has taken advantage of this clarification to reassure citizens and beachgoers about the quality of the beach water, while reminding them of the importance of relying on scientific findings in the face of sudden changes in the marine environment.
