We are advising all water users at Regatta Beach to be cautious when entering this water body and be vigilant of any water showing scums or areas which exhibit a musty or earth odour.
The species of blue-green algae identified are potentially toxic and may cause gastroenteritis in humans if consumed, and skin and eye irritations after contact.
