Resources

Below is a list of people i have called today:

• Sutherland Shire council 97100333
• Sydney Water 132092 - General enquiry
• NSW Government- Student resources 0247744431

The sutherland shire council refered me to the annual shire report which has some relevant information on the shire itself, however no information specifically on Gunnamatta Bay. This information is in a few of the previous posts.

Sydney water referred me to the NSW Government website (www.sca.nsw.gov.au), however, they only research the major drinking water dam and therefore could not help me. On the other hand, the woman told me to go on google earth, look at at the rivers or pipelines that run off into the bay. This will help me get a general idea as to what runs off into the bay. As the bay in surrounded by an urban area, things such as

• phosphates and nitrates from fertilisers
• oil and heavy metals
• grease

Gunnamatta Bay has a high exposure to these materials and therefore effect the water quality and life at the Bay and cause the bay to have a high turbidity which is an experiment soonto be tested.

We shall soon find out... stay tuned =]
