Residents in a regional West Australian city are calling on the State Government to do more to prevent smelly sea grass from ruining their pristine beach every year.Every year thousands of cubic metres of sea grass swamps a pristine beach in Busselton, WA
More than 400 residents have rallied to call on the WA Government to do more to fix what they call an unsafe problem The Government will create a technical working group next year to find ways to reduce the amount of sea grass remaining ashore For more than two decades, thousands of cubic metres of sea grass has washed ashore on a large section of beach in Busselton, in the state's south-west.
This year some 20,000 cubic metres of sea grass wrack has accumulated on Western Beach, which has created three-metre cliffs into the waters edge."No one can really swim in the water and it is very difficult to get to the water, because you have to climb over three metres of sea grass."
