Abstract

Varadero's dolphinarium is one of our province tourist centers where people go looking for recreation; besides that, it is frequently visited by foreign tourists, having a great economic and social importance. In the present work we made a sanitary evaluation of its waters, including physic-chemical and bacteriologic analyses, in the period from 2007 to June 2009, in all the five areas of recreational usage, and also the facts that may influence negatively on the good work of the center. The geometrical media of the found NMP coli total y NMP coli faecal values are normal. There were reported punctual troubles in the physical-chemical parameter Oxygen, dissolved in the five sampled areas in 25,53 % of the total analyzed; media values of this parameter is normal, as the rest of the parameters.
