Pelican itch at Woy Woy

 

Gosford Council's Health Unit is to investigate an increased incidence of "pelican itch" effecting swimmers at the baths in Woy Woy.

This follows a recommendation of the council's Coastline Management, Lagoon Management and Coastal Planning Committee (CLP Committee).

The committee told the council that the reported incidence of "pelican itch" had increased since the introduction of a pelican feeding program at Pelican Park and the water had taken on a dirty appearance in the baths.
