No this is not a field, its a beach, a local Blue Flag Beach after a Spring Tide.
The green stuff is Lettuce Weed which is thriving due to an over enrichment of the estuary waters from farm run offs, poor sewage treatment etc, so I'm told.
It's a nightmare for fishing when its bad and also effects windsurfers, surfers, walkers, wildlife, etc . It stinks as it starts to decay so when it gets really bad the council are out with Diggers scooping it up into tractor drawn trailers for disposal at sea, which is also controversial.
Apparently there has been a public meeting about it recently, I will be attending any further meetings. We need a solution.......
