根據 2016-2017 年度的海灘狀態報告顯示,新州 250 個海灘中有 84% 的海灘水質為「好」或「非常好」,比去年下跌 2%。
雪梨 Rose Bay 海灘錄得最嚴重的下跌,評分又去年的「好」下跌至「差劣」;但 Coogee 海灘的水質則有所改善,由「差劣」上升至「好」。
報告發現,雪梨機場及 Botany 港口之間的 Foreshores 海灘,已連續六年被評為雪梨水質最差的海灘,亦是新州唯一一個被評為水質「非常差劣」的海灘。
另外,雪梨海港 Tamoburine Bay 亦從「好」下跌至「差劣」。
調查報告檢測了新州各海灘的水質,包括檢測可能存在的有毒細菌及其他有害物質。
新州政府表示,暴雨影響海灘水質,當中港口及海港附近泳灘的水質特別嚴重。
環境廳長奧頓(Gabrielle Upton)表示,由於本年二月及三月的持續降雨及風暴,導致雪梨出現自 1975 年以來最濕潤的季節,大量垃圾和污染物被衝入海灘,令海灘水質降至四年來最低。
奧頓認為,事實上雪梨的海灘比 1990 年年代乾淨得多。此外,過去 20 年,雪梨海灘水質已大為改善。
她說,報告能敦促政府改善水質。
