DEAD nice beach
Cease immediately the use of any herbicide on beaches or adjacent land . Phase out the use of glyphosate as soon as possible on other areas!
Why is this important?
The entire north coast of the Wirral is a site of special scientific interest ! The Dee estuary has been steadily silting up since the last ice age ! This process is now continuing around the corner on to Hoylake beach ! Vegetation is taking hold and a salt marsh will form . The council have sprayed the beach with glyphosate weed killer directly onto the beach !! It goes without saying that chemicals and the ocean don’t belong together!
