Water quality
Dear Sir,
I read with interest the waste collection in the water off the popular beaches around the Island. As a regular visitor to Camp de Mar for the last 30 years the problem is the bugs in the water.
I have had severe ear infections several times due to bugs in the sea at Camp de Mar which necessitated a doctor’s visit I have never understood how that particular beach ever warranted a blue flag I understand the sewerage treatment has been upgraded but almost every afternoon floating macerated plastic and other waste is blown into the bay which means it must be piped out into the sea after treatment and the onshore wind in the afternoon blows it ashore and as there is little tidal scour there it stays till the morning when the offshore wind blows it out to sea again.
When I swim now I will not put my head under water !
