Letter: Adriatic bathing still pure delight
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I, like Mrs Bertram of Cambridge (letter, 16 October), was born and brought up in Trieste, Italy - unlike Mrs Bertram, I and my family still go there every summer to enjoy good healthy swimming.
The bacterial content of the sea water is measured eyery day, published in the local paper and announced on the local radio - no one as far as I know has ever become ill after swimming in the Gulf of Trieste.
In the northern part of the Adriatic the sea is clean and healthy and it supports a lot of sea life.
In Trieste we have a WWF marine reserve. Grado, only a few miles away, which has the record of the cleanest sea in Italy.
