  • Illegal disposal of waste into the sea from fish farms
  • Illegal dumping of waste into the sea by companies and ships
  • Litter in the canals and drains leading to the sea
  • Waste blown from nearby roads or waste collection trucks to the coast
  • Waste blown away from the litter bins at the beach to the coast due to overfilling or improper disposal by beachgoers
  • Littering by beachgoers involved in activities such as cycling and bbq-ing.
  • Waste blown away from premises at the beach or due to improper disposal by the premise, including chalets, bicycle shops, cafes and restaurants, food centres, and convenience stores

  • Microorganisms are bacteria, viruses, and parasites sometimes found in water. Shallow wells are at greater risk of contamination. Runoff, or water flowing over the land surface, may pick up contaminants from wildlife and soils. This is often the case after a flood. These organisms can cause a variety of illnesses.

    • Discharge of untreated Raw Sewage from households and factories
    • Chemicals dumped from Factories
    • Agricultural run-offs that make their way into our rivers and streams and groundwater sources
    • Urbanization
    • The rising use of synthetic organic substances
    • Oil Spills
    • Acid Rain caused by the burning of Fossil Fuels
    • Human littering in rivers, oceans, lakes and other bodies of water. Harmful litter includes plastics, aluminum, glass and Styrofoam.
