Botany Bay and Catchment Alliance

It will be a long hot summer with plenty of opportunities to take the kids fishing. If you bring back the catch to the Penrhyn Boat Ramp there will be a bench for cleaning the fish - but no water.  “No worries”, you say and head down to Penrhyn waters to clean the fish.  The kids play around in the water while you clean the fish.  Then you notice the large red WARNING sign which tells you that the estuary is contaminated and advises you not to come in contact with the water (swimming/wading).  So why you ask yourself have the taps at the cleaning bench been cut off.  Good question.  Sydney Ports Corporation have control of this area and eventually will convert it into another shipping container terminal.  But in the meantime what about exercising some common sense and put back the water.
