Nine beaches in Sydney, including Manly, were closed on Tuesday after mysterious ball-shaped debris washed ashore, prompting safety measures during the summer holiday season.
Nine beaches in Sydney, including the famous Manly Beach, were closed to bathers on Tuesday, January 14, after small white and grey balls of debris washed up on the shores, disrupting the peak summer holiday season.
The Northern Beaches Council confirmed it was working to safely remove the mysterious matter. The ball-shaped debris, mostly the size of marbles, with some larger pieces, has raised concerns among beachgoers and authorities alike.
This incident follows a similar event last October, when several beaches, including the iconic Bondi Beach, were closed after thousands of black balls appeared on the shores. An inquiry later determined that those balls were made up of fatty acids, chemicals used in cosmetics and cleaning products, as well as hair, food waste, and materials linked to wastewater.
Authorities are now investigating the source of the new debris, while ensuring public safety as they clear the affected beaches.
