How clean is our NSW?

[Mekaeel]

hey there crew.look at what i saw this morning.a bulldozer digging out north beach sand to make way for black sewage water.this was in the daily news a few weeks back and there was suppose to have been an end to it,in that water was found oil,dirt and even condoms!what impact is all this having on our ecosystem?and now i can see my main reason why lots of my fish were sick even though i used to collect my water early in the morning.

nice pic !!!!! makes u think doesnt it abt our environment

 

[Mekaeel]

what irritates me is that the durban beachfront is known as the golden mile and then you gotta look at this shit!

 

[viper357]

and then you go and swim in it??????

p.s. when you gonna go diving for my fish

 

[Mekaeel]

frikkin hell thats why i stopped swimming and surfing here.because of this shit.oh dean by the way went for a dive but very late on sunday 5:15 almost dark,saw a few bristletooth but missed them,had to leave the water.

[Mekaeel]

Haven't caught a gem this season, too fat and slow these days. I only know of a few that have been caught.

Collect your water at Park Rynie, it is always pretty and sparkly there.

i collect @ isipingo , lekker and clean also .....

 

[Alan]

Still cant collect in the ballito area, but have never had a problem in the past.

 

[Mekaeel]

been running synthetic temporarily.i think isipingo beach is a good idea.when i visit my inlaws who live there,will take my drums with me.parkrynie is a bit too far out.where exactly in ballito do you collect alan?

 

[Alan]

Anywhere along the coastline, just not at the moment as beaches are still closed because of ecoli [sp] readings.

 

[Copperband]

ok guys explain this to the jo'burg oke. You collect the sea water then dump in the tank or do you collect then skim and send through carbon and other such good things?

 

[Alan]

LOL, collect and dump with in an hour of collecting to avoid die off.

 

[Mekaeel]

if i store,i usually run a skimmer in a big drum with carbon

 

[DragonReef]

Mekaeel is that a sewerage line that runs under the pier that has ruptured ?

Where did they find the oil etc. By the time sewerage is pumped out to sea it is supposed to be 95% treated.
I'd like to know more about this, Seems as if Mike Sutcliff would rather spend the money on changing street names then trying to avoid and ecological disaster.

 

[Mekaeel]

the daily news stated there was an oily substance and lots off other crap like i mentioned above this is according to what one of the surfers noticed

 

[Mekaeel]

take a walk down there and smell that stuff,its not like normal storm water

 

[psycho]

ok guys explain this to the jo'burg oke.

Thanks for asking that one, never had enough guts,

But now my question, how clean is the water that you get and doesn't it contain any sickness (hope it makes sense)

PS.... Nice photo, where was it taken from ??
