Herewith attached is observations conducted this morning Wednesday, 12 August 2020 at around 08:00 am, of Styrofoam floating on the sea’s surface in Saldanha Bay near the Sea Harvest seawater intake. Please see the photos and incident report below.
I contacted the Harbour Master early this morning to inform him about the pollution. It would be appreciated if the relevant authorities could please investigate this matter, as this is not the first time that an incident like this has happened.
Your feedback and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
