They've been red-flagged by RNLI
Two of Northern Ireland’s most popular beaches have been “red-flagged” by the RNLI as unsafe for swimming.
They state: “Warning ! Beach has been red-flagged by RNLI - unsafe for bathing due to blue - green algae detection in the water. Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs sampling on Wednesday, June 5, “confirmed” algae at Castlerock and “suspected blue-green algae” at Portstewart strand. Both beaches remain marked as “fully open”.
Mid Ulster District Council is the latest to confirm they have identified the toxic algae in their vicinity, at Ballyronan Marina and Battery Harbour. An expert in blue green algae says the death of dogs in Northern Ireland “didn’t have to happen” and an action plan to eradicate the bacteria is available.
