I would like to know what Environment Bay of Plenty is doing about the sea lettuce problem at Waihi Beach.
It is affecting the ecosystem and it is a safety concern to the public as it is slippery, smells like sewage when decomposing and it also blocks the intake on outboard motors.
There appears to be no action taken, it has been clogging up the harbour and is now at plague proportions in the ocean affecting all beach users.
(Above) is a photo I took on Sunday 14/10/2010 at the North End of Waihi Beach.
