PANJIM: Here's a note of caution for tourists who head to Goa annually for a bit of sun and a splash in the sea, marine scientists have said the waters off the state's coast contain alarmingly high levels of coliform bacteria caused by the release of untreated sewage.
Scientists of the Goa-based marine research organisation National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) have said that the waters off Goa's coast are "unsafe for recreational bathing and fishing".
"Seawaters along the Indian coasts are classified by the Central Pollution Control Board of India as fit for commercial fishing, contact recreation and bathing activities when the faecal coliform count is 100 CFU/100 ml. But we found FC levels as high as 190 CFU/100ml in certain locations of Goa waters," NIO's marine scientist Dr N Ramaiah said.
A colony forming unit or CFU is the actual number of bacteria viewed under a microscope in a sample of water. Ramaiah headed a marine research team, which conducted this study over a period of six years.
