The well-known marine conservation charity Surfers Against Sewage has released urgent notices for 25 beaches and coastal places throughout Wales, which is a worrying trend. The charity warned swimmers and paddlers to stay away from these places because of the possibility of pollution caused by storm sewage or improper water categorization.
Colwyn Bay; Llyn Padarn; Criccieth; New Quay; Llangrannog; Cilborth; Newport; Nolton Haven; Little Haven; Broadhaven; Dale; West Angle; Barafundle; Manorbier; Tenby; Saundersfoot; Pembrey; Swansea; Ogmore; and other beaches are among those that are impacted.
In the past 48 hours, storm sewage releases have contaminated numerous coastal areas, putting beachgoers’ health at serious risk. Sewer overflows and runoff are the source of the pollution that endangers these popular beaches’ recreational and environmental values.
Surfers Against Sewage stressed the significance of keeping your hands away from contaminated water because sewage pollution can harbor dangerous bacteria and contaminants. Amidst mounting worries over water quality throughout the Welsh coastline, the organization issues alerts with the goal of protecting public health and raising awareness.
In order to mitigate the sewage contamination and protect the health of beachgoers and marine habitats, authorities are encouraged to act quickly. Watch this space for updates on this unfolding scenario.
