Dog poo was present in around half the tests that led to ‘poor’ bathing water quality warnings on Dublin beaches - Bathing Water Task Force.
There are calls for fresh awareness campaigns after a new study found dog poo was present in around half of ‘poor’ bathing water quality assessments on Dublin beaches.by the Dublin Bay Bathing Water Task Force, which was set up to tackle the fall in water quality at Merrion Strand.
The tests found that traces of dog poo were in the water in around half the ‘poor’ bathing water quality assessments studied. Gull poo was found in one-fifth of the assessments, while the remaining 5% of the faecal matter was ‘unidentified’.The report notes that dog and bird poo on beaches can “significantly impact water quality” – and suggests that one dog poo has the potential “to pollute a volume of water the size of a tennis court”.
