The Ministry of the Environment's "Clean Beach" index (the second index for August) shows that 75.38% of the beaches measured were rated "clean" to "very clean", compared to 61.54% in the previous index, which reflected the first half of the month.
In the same period last year, 63.63% of the beaches were found to be very clean. As of the beginning of 2019, 65.15% of beaches are clean, at least 70% of the time.
