Denial over ‘threat’ to marine life
3 Mins Read BEACH users at McCrae say the dredging process being used to “renourish” the sand is harmful to the environment and unlikely to be a long term solution to sand. Share
THE Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning says methods of using 20,000 cubic metres of dredged sand to replenish McCrae beach are designed “to avoid impacting any marine values and coastal vegetation”.
“Our marine biodiversity and natural environment team experts have confirmed there are no specific concerns relating to the project with regards to land-based coastal vegetation, the reef, or the plants and animals that inhabit it,” DELWP Port Phillip regional director Stephen Chapple said.
