Sorrento in winter. Clear and clean.
Small groups of people around the Bay are beginning to organise themselves. Check the updates on the Get Involved Page for beach focal points.
Please let us know if you have decided on where you will be on the night of the 8/01/08 from dusk to 10 pm. and are happy to have others join you.
Any suggestions for further publicity and networking – pass them on!
This is growing .. many people are glad to be part of this Vigil of Light for our Bay.
Lovely weather and succesful sailing days over Christmas have just reinforced how much we, the people of Victoria, want this Bay to be healthy and clean. We do not want Port Phillip Bay to become a major industrial port.
We are a small group of swimmers who are opposed to the proposed dredging of our beautiful bay, we meet at the Dromana Boat Hire (Pt Nepean Rd opposite Foote Street ) Tues & Thursday 7am for a swim. We have a photo taken 50 years ago which shows clearly the loss of beach as the result of past bay @ heads dredging!!! Maybe a flyer showing the before & after level of beach would highlight the changes to our bay water levels. John Reid
Thanks for this John,
We need such keen observation now! I also spent over 50 years swimming in this Bay and am appalled at the deteroration of the water quality and beaches. Have noticed how a few councils have had to rebuild their beaches since the trial dredging. You would think they would be actively rejecting the proposal to continue?!
Enjoy your swims.
