Estuary Wye River Estuary
Site Wye River Mouth Condition
Observation ID #10789
Date and Time Sunday 5th February 2017 10:15am
Approved Approved

Notes

The sign that says no swimming in the mouth of the river is still  in position on the beach. This sign has been in place for over one year indicating that it is unsafe to swim in the estuary for all of that time - which is untrue. Juliet has spoken to council employees about the sign - but there has been no action.

There is a lot of algae in the river - both sides of the river and upstream
