Natural Resources Wales (NRW) quickly leapt into action after oil began leaking onto this cherished beach, working tirelessly to trace and halt the contamination source. While the root cause has been managed, relentless rain is still carrying pollutants down the stream to the shore. 🌧️

NRW has set up a containment barrier and utilised absorbent pads to minimise further damage. Despite these efforts, rainfall continues to be a challenge. More rain is forecasted for Sunday, possibly bringing additional oils to the beach. NRW remains vigilant, monitoring the situation closely throughout the weekend.

Public notices are up, urging people to keep out of the water for safety. If you see signs of environmental harm, please reach out to NRW’s 24/7 incident line at 0300 065 3000 or use their online reporting form. Let’s keep Criccieth Beach safe for everyone! 💧
