This afternoon, the volunteers of Skerries Coast Guard were paged to investigate a report of shoreline pollution near Balbriggan harbour. A concerned member of the public had contact the Coast Guard’s Marine Rescue Control Centre (MRCC) to report possible oil pollution in the water.
The Skerries team conducted a shoreline search and located the site of the report. The team did observe an unusual scum on the surface water, but this was naturally occuring and no further action was required.
