Far South Coast ranks in top three for low plastic waterways

The Far South Coast is among the top locations in the state when it comes to low contamination levels for small bits of plastics in the water.

The Eurobodalla and Bega Valley both recorded only low to moderate readings for micro plastics in testing undertaken by the EPA.

The results place us as second and third best across the state.

Nadgee Lake and Middle Lagoon recorded consistently very low concentrations.

The EPA report states “While overall contamination was low, Bermagui River, Merimbula Lake, and Twofold Bay showed
higher concentrations.”
