Mar Menor inches towards health with more good results this week
After reaching dangerous highs, the temperature of the lagoon has stabilised at 29ºC

What the latest measurements show and why they matter
- Temperature has dropped slightly to an average of 28.63ºC. Even a small decrease is important because very warm water holds less oxygen, which fish and plants need to survive.
- Oxygen levels are now at 5.04 milligrams per litre, almost 10% higher than at the end of July. More oxygen means healthier conditions for marine life.
- Chlorophyll levels, which indicate the amount of algae in the water, have fallen by around a third, from 1.51 to 1 milligram per cubic metre. Less algae helps prevent the greenish “bloom” that blocks sunlight and depletes oxygen.
- Transparency has improved to 3.06 metres, meaning you can now see further down into the water. Clearer water allows more sunlight to reach underwater plants, which are crucial for the lagoon’s ecosystem.
- Turbidity, a measure of how cloudy the water is, has dropped by nearly 30%. Lower turbidity is another sign that fewer particles are floating in the water, which also helps light reach the plants below.
