Last weekend, I was at Deep Water Bay in the afternoon and the sea was so polluted that I am sure it would post serious health risks if anyone was swimming near there. Apart from the oil slick and lumps of black oil, there were also numerous floating discarded bits of plastic. And, most alarmingly, we spotted two large dead fish which were over a foot in length. Why isn’t the government doing anything to clean them up or to provide warnings to the public when the water has become so polluted? I noticed that there were a number of large container ships moored in the open sea surrounding the area. Were they responsible for the oil slick and dumping rubbish into our sea? Again, what is the government doing about this? This is only the beginning of summer and our waters are already polluted to this level. This must be of serious concern to everyone.
