I had seen a post from last year on the topic how long will the pond last, well I would think not very long unless both the local council and DPAW or DOT get active. There are currently 4 storm water drains depositing all sorts of crap into this small section of water adding excessive nutrients contributing to large algae growths. Adding to the demise is the lack of sea grass in the pond being blanketed by rotting seagrass with little or no flow from tidal movements. I think the only hope will be the same as what happened with the Margaret River surf competition being cancelled to get authorities realising the impact of the tourist dollar. Photos today show the rigging area and just algae in the water.
