How To Tell If Your Local Beach Is Unsafe

Posted in Uncategorized by wink on the November 25, 2005

Well, under this topic, I’ll just explain some phenomenon (actually, some biological indicators) to watch out for other than excessive jellyfish numbers at the beach.

It is probably not a good idea to swim or fish at beaches or lagoons when:
-Blue Starfish, yes, they are beautiful, but, their numerous presence means the water is polluted, maybe with excessive sewage in it.
-Colourful beach/Red Tides – red, violet, orange, blue, green, brown, pink – yet again, its beautiful, but Do Not fish there, because the fish you catch may give you food poisoning, even killing you.
