THE KYLES COASTAL COMMUNITY

IMPACT ON HUMAN HEALTH
Recent testing of oyster beds (The Loch Riddon Sanitary Survey) showed 100% presence of Norovirus types 1 and 2, and extremely high levels of E.coli.
Many sewage pipes discharge directly into the Kyles and many are broken, meaning our sea and beaches are contaminated, unhealthy and, at times, unpleasant places to spend time.
