Poachers on Mellons Bay Beach

Roger from Somerville

There are a male and female Chinese couple who are regularly stealing the rock oysters from Mellons Bay Beach.

They have been warned by beach lovers many times.

Yesterday the woman took 3/4 carrier bags full away off the beach. I stopped the male and took another full bag from him.

There are a male and female Chinese couple who are regularly stealing the rock oysters from Mellons Bay Beach.

They have been warned by beach lovers many times.

Yesterday the woman took 3/4 carrier bags full away off the beach. I stopped the male and took another full bag from him.

The limit is 50 per person per day,

Fisheries are aware and have photos and videos of the individuals, What we do not have so far is a car number plate.

If you are there at low tide please watch out for them at the far end of the beach. Do not confront them but if you can get a number plate do call fisheries.

We need to protect our beaches and residents from all greedy people.

Thank you.

We’ve hit a tipping point, where choosing clean energy is the smart choice, and not just because we want to reduce our carbon emissions 🌍⚡💸

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.

Money — the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business — is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)

We hope this news brings a smile!
