Beachgoers have been warned to avoid coming into contact with an algal bloom that has erupted along parts of a city coastline.
Authorities have warned beachgoers to stay out the water after a dangerous phenomenon appeared along a major city’s coastline.
The algae is commonly referred to as red tide or saw dust, which appear as brown-red-orange-yellow surface scum with the appearance of an oil slick, or a pinkish to pale green colour when it decomposes in surrounding water. “We’re advising beachgoers, along with their pets, to stay out of the water where there are signs of water discolouration and algal scum,” he said.WA Health is working with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, and relevant local government authorities to monitor and assess potentially impacted foreshore areas and erect health warning signs where practical.
People should avoid recreational activities such as swimming, diving, kayaking, jet skiing and fishing in areas where significant water discolouration or scum was visible.
