Residents complain about seagrass

Petitioners have contacted council about seagrass at Shelter Cove, St Huberts Island.

A petition with eight signatures was received from residents of St Hubert's Island "complaining about the state of the waters edge at Shelter Cove", according to a council report.

The petitioners stated that the seagrass and ribbon weed along the shoreline was causing a rubbish accumulation, which was resulting in a health hazard.

The petitioners also stated that council employees had removed samples of water and these had shown large amounts of ammonia, which indicated sewerage.

The petitioners asked that council contact the Fisheries Department to remove the seagrass and ribbon weed from the shoreline of Shelter Cove.
