Seaweed assaults Galveston beaches

Posted on by

GALVESTON - A cold front gave Galveston Island temporary respite Wednesday from a relentless three-day onslaught of seaweed that piled up on beaches at a rate not seen in years, leaving mounds of Sargassum several feet high in places.

"These landings are pretty big," said Kelly de Schaun, Galveston Park Board executive director. "This is probably the worst case of seaweed we've seen in at least the last five years."

The cold front pushed the seaweed back out to sea, but it is expected to return with a vengeance in a couple of days, said Robert Webster, marine science research assistant at Texas A&M University at Galveston. Webster said the Sargassum is continuing to grow in nutrient-rich waters offshore and will resume its march to shore when the cold front passes. He predicted another week to 10 days of Sargassum.

The unusually large mass of seaweed accumulation forced the Park Board to temporarily abandon its policy of leaving seaweed where it washes ashore to trap sand and help fight wave erosion that shrinks beaches.

All available Park Board employees have been pressed into service, some recalled from vacation, to keep the seaweed from interfering with tourism, the island's lifeblood, de Schaun said. Employees and heavy equipment are at work every morning before dawn to make sure that arriving tourists are not blocked from the surf by a wall of seaweed.

The onslaught of seaweed forced the Park Board to use front-end loaders even though their use had been halted earlier because they scooped up too much precious beach sand. Workers are also using surf rakes, which rake the seaweed onto a conveyor belt without scooping up sand. The massive accumulations are being moved to growing piles of seaweed at the back of the beaches.

"Sunday was the worst," said Sharon Mamich, 43, of Houston, who was taking advantage of the seaweed reprieve Wednesday and relaxing on East Beach. "I was on the seawall and it stunk." She said the smell was especially repugnant to a friend and her 6-year-old daughter. "It just grossed them out."

Holli Vivrine, 25, of Beaumont also found the seaweed disagreeable, as she sat with friends in front of the seawall near the Galveston Pleasure Pier. "It just smells and it's itchy if you walk on it," Vivrine said.

The seaweed is arriving on Galveston beaches after drifting for thousands of miles from the Sargasso Sea, the only sea on the planet without land borders. The Sargasso Sea is at the intersection of four ocean currents known as the Northern Atlantic Subtropical Gyre. The Gulf Stream forms the western boundary of the Sargasso Sea, the North Atlantic Current the northern, the Canary Current the eastern, and the North Atlantic Equatorial Current the southern.

Sargassum seaweed is an algae that grows in the Sargasso Sea and eventually drifts into the Gulf of Mexico, growing as it makes its journey. The currents return much of the seaweed to the Sargasso Sea, but some drifts into the nutrient-filled waters off the Texas Coast where it thrives.

Drum lines gone, 4m shark closes beach

Perth beaches are being progressively closed as a 4m shark travels north about 100m offshore.

Surf Lifesaving WA says the shark is near a whale.

City and Floreat beaches were closed, but are now reopened, and lifesavers also closed Scarborough and Brighton beaches.

All beaches were reopened at 2pm.

Beachgoers in the northern suburbs were warned to take care as the shark may continue to move north along the coast.

The State Government's shark catch-and-kill policy ended yesterday and drum lines 1km off the coast were removed.

A private contractor removed drum lines in the South West.

Although the final cost of the trial is unknown and the Government is yet to release final figures for the number of sharks and other animals caught, it is understood not one great white shark was caught on a line.

The drum lines were set in late January and early February as part of efforts to catch great white, tiger and bull sharks bigger than 3m.

Almost all Irish beaches given clean bill of health

Beaches that fail to meet EU bathing water quality standards in the future will require to be closed to swimmers for an entire season, the Environmental Protection Agency has warned.

In its latest report on bathing water quality, the EPA found that 97 per cent of Irelands 135 designated bathing places comply with the EU directive mainly due to improvements in sewage treatment systems and better water quality management.

But new EU requirements to assess water quality over a rolling four-year period mean that bathing places which fail to meet the standard will require to be closed to bathers for the entire following season (2015) while still requiring to be monitored.

The new targets represent a further strengthening of measures to protect public health and amount to an almost two-fold decrease in the levels of microbiological contamination deemed to be acceptable for bathing waters, the EPA report for 2013 said.

Of the 135 bathing places, 114 achieved good status, 17 were rated as sufficient and only four bathing waters were rated as poor Clifden, Co Galway; Dugort, on Achill Island, Co Mayo; Ballyloughnane, in Galway city; and Lilliput, on Lough Ennell, Co Westmeath.

PollutionClifden continues to be subject to episodic pollution by the local sewage treatment plant, but work is under way to upgrade the plant, and the EPA report said this would hopefully bring about an improvement in water quality over the coming years.

Lilliput experienced a lengthy period of contamination late in the season believed to have originated from a wastewater source while Dugort was impacted by a rare pumping station malfunction and Ballyloughane experienced two pollution incidents.

It had been anticipated that the number of waters rated good might have been slightly higher, but the presence of persistent but relatively low levels of bacterial pollution was observed in some waters in particular some of the popular east-coast bathing areas.
