Overview

  • Federal Playas MX data initially flagged Nexpa, Boca de Apiza, Playa Jardín/Eréndira, Las Peñas, Chuquiapan and Caleta de Campos as exceeding WHO bacterial limits.
  • Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla and the Clean Beaches Committee commissioned joint retesting with Coepris Michoacán, which found enterococci levels below the 200-particle-per-100-milliliter threshold.
  • The Secretaría de Salud de Michoacán and Sectur declared the six sites safe for swimming and invited tourists to visit the coastal areas.
  • Residents of Nexpa are demanding a public apology from Cofepris for earlier contamination alerts that they say caused cancellations and economic harm.
  • Final federal–state analysis results are expected imminently to confirm the beaches’ sanitary status ahead of peak vacation season.
