Major Major Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I have noticed recently upon swimming in the sea close to the Beach House hotel that close to the shore there are small brown "floaters". I have ignored them for the first few days, but yesterday there were a lot more and a lot bigger. Surely it's not what I think it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Yep....raw sewage is often pumped into the sea. I've seen some pipes on chewang beach. Wouldn't think it would happen here would you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
