Bathing water quality in the Republic of Croatia is of considerable public health concern. The bathing water quality monitoring program is prescribed by the Regulation on bathing water quality (NN 73/2008), which is compliant with the Directive of the European Parliament on management of bathing water quality (2006/7/EC). Monitoring of the sanitary quality of the bathing water includes examination of the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters of the seawater. Microbiological parameters are the best indicator of sea pollution with sanitary-fecal wastewater. Fecal indicator bacteria (until 2009, fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci, since 2009, Escherichia coli and Intestinal enterococci) indicate the possibility of the presence of pathogens in bathing water. In this paper, the results of the examination of microbiological indicators of fecal contamination during 2021. and 2022. on five beaches of the city of Rijeka, i.e. 15 measuring points, are processed. Certain physical, chemical and microbiological parameters were processed with descriptive statistics. The most microbiologically loaded beach is 3. maj, which is in line with previous research. Samples at that location yielded the highest concentration of Intestinal enterococci and E. coli. The reason for this is that the buildings are not connected to the public drainage system and that the storm water drainage system has not been resolved. The data indicate that in 2021. and 2022., all locations in the majority share were graded excellent. There is a statistically significant difference between locations based on salinity, the concentration of Intestinal enterococci and E. coli, and a negative correlation between salinity and microbiological indicators has been proven.
