At Horizons, we recognise the importance of being well informed and that is why every summer we monitor over 80 popular swim spots across the region, providing you with reliable information on the potential health risks in our waterways. Each swim spot is tested for faecal indicator bacteria including E. coli for freshwater and Enterococci for coastal waters, as well as cyanobacteria, which is also known as potentially toxic algae. Each site is graded according to a traffic light system as recommended by the Ministry of Health. Our weekly results are published to our website in a map and table format.
