saipan east WATER QUALITY REPORT
The Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality (BECQ) analyzed water samples collected this week from Saipan's east and south recreational beaches. Samples collected from the following locations contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria (enterococci) that exceeded the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards. These bacteria can indicate the presence of human and animal waste in the water. However, studies have shown that storm water runoff in tropical environments may also contain these bacteria from the natural environment, which may not be directly associated with public health concerns. Therefore, In order to adequately address public health concerns, BECQ has given the following locations a and advises the public NOT to fish or swim within 300 feet of these locations for the next 48 hours or until otherwise notified.

The Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ), under the Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality (BECQ), is issuing a PRECAUTIONARY ADVISORY for all recreational beaches on Saipan in anticipation of an approaching storm system over the weekend and into early next week of July 06, 2026. The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall, increased runoff, and potential coastal water quality degradation.
Periods of intense rainfall often result in stormwater runoff carrying pollutants such as bacteria, debris, and contaminants from roads, drainage systems, and surrounding land areas into nearshore waters. Stormwater drainage outfalls and low-lying coastal zones are especially vulnerable to elevated bacteria levels following heavy rains. These conditions may pose an increased risk to public health.
As a precaution, the public is advised to avoid swimming, fishing, and other water-related activities at all Saipan beaches during this period. Beachgoers who choose to enter the water do so at their own risk. All west coast and east coast recreational waters of Saipan may be impacted, including but not limited to:
This Special Advisory supplements BECQ-DEQ’s routine weekly monitoring of marine recreational waters and storm drainage sites across Saipan. Water quality conditions will continue to be assessed, and updates will be provided as necessary. BECQ-DEQ welcomes all inquiries regarding beach water quality at (670) 664-8500.
