State of the Bay 2015 Technical Report

Concerns were initially raised by the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) relating to water quality in Small Bay and specifically discharge of waste by-products by the fishing industry into the bay. It was pointed out that although willing to be part of a monitoring programme, they were not the only impactors and therefore should not be required to carry the costs alone.

Today we can proudly state that our contributors represent a broad cross section of local industries, as well as local government, all of whom are impactors to a greater or lesser degree.

These entities contribute to the Trust on a purely voluntary basis and are to be commended for their commitment to our better understanding and management of this fragile environment (See cover page).
