City gives reassurance on discoloured Strandfontein beach water
Share
The City says the water quality at Strandfontein beach has not shown a major change or decline in the past five years, despite a report of discoloured water and lack of bird and sea life.
Resident Keith Blake said in recent weeks he and other fishermen had noted a darker than usual colour in the water stretching between Strandfontein and Muizenberg beaches.
“We noticed wave after wave of dark coffee, almost oil-like, mixture in the surf on an almost daily basis. The colour of the seawater has also not been clear, almost a pea-soup colouration.”

The Grand Chief of Treaty 8 is lobbying the provincial government for an Indigenous police service for First Nations covered by the treaty. Treaty 8 includes all First Nations in the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo area. Treaty 8 Grand Chief Arthur Noskey said in an interview he pitched the northern First Nation police service in March. The idea is a response to the Rural Alberta Provincial Integrated Defence (RAPID) Response initiative, which is opposed by Treaty 8 leaders. The RAPID Response initiative allows Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Service (FWES) officers to help the RCMP during emergency and high-priority calls. Treaty 8 leaders have accused FWES officers of harassing Indigenous people when practicing treaty-protected hunting or fishing.
