Over just 48 hours, a worrying trend has emerged across Wales as sewage spills have been reported at 11 beloved beach spots. Yes, it’s as grim as it sounds! ๐๐
Surfers Against Sewage, the UKโs leading marine conservation charity, is ringing the alarm bells with real-time alerts. Their app gives beachgoers the lowdown on where sewage has entered the water, straight from the sensors on sewer overflows. ๐๐ฑ
So, which gorgeous spots have been affected? Well, brace yourself:
– Aberafan (June 17, 10:45am)
– River Tawe, Clydach (June 17, 4:15am)
– Swansea Bay (June 17, 12:14pm)
– Bracelet Bay & Limeslade Bay (June 17, 8:00am)
– Tenby South & Penally (June 17, 4:45am)
– Barmouth (June 17, 4:39am)
– Craig du Beach Central (June 16, 10:30pm)
– Llyn Padarn (June 16, 12:45pm)
– Llandudno west shore (June 16, 9:10pm)
And if you fancy a dip, avoid beaches like Watch House Bay in Barry and Ogmore-by-Sea due to their poor annual water quality classification. ๐ซ๐โโ๏ธ
Sewage pollution is not just unpleasantโit poses real risks to health, with the potential for harmful diseases and bacteria. We need urgent action!
In May, passionate protests took place across beaches in Wales, demanding better from our water systems. Natural Resources Wales has urged water companies to seriously up their game in preventing these spills. ๐๐
If you love our coasts, stay informed and stay safe. Donโt let pollution spoil your summer plans! ๐ #CleanSeas #ProtectOurBeaches #WalesNews
