The quality of the sea is one of the most important factors according to which tourists decide whether to visit a particular coastal destination. The model for predicting the occurrence of microbiological contaminants must include data on both environmental factors and the economic activity of the coastal area. In recent years, we have observed the occurrence of extreme events both in nature and in society. In this work, we analyze the impact of extreme events (heavy rainfall, drought, extremely limited economic activity due to the pandemic COVID -19) on the occurrence of bacteriological contaminants on the selected beaches of the Liburnian area (Adriatic Sea, Croatia).
