EPA
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has ruled out pesticide as causing the recent deaths of beach worms at beaches on the NSW Mid North Coast.
Commercial fisherman reported dead beach worms on Yagon Beach, near Seal Rocks, on 3 June 2021.
Laboratory testing of beach worms, pipis, sea water and sand from this location has found no evidence of pesticide or algal toxins.
The Department of Primary Industries laboratory has also ruled out disease as a cause of the deaths.
The EPA was informed that National Parks and Wildlife Service had sprayed bitou bush at Yagon Beach with pesticides in May and June, however a review of tidal conditions, groundwater and beach recession has led the EPA to conclude that the beach worm mortality was caused by natural events.

Conservation concern as alien aphid detected on Kangaroo Island
An invasive species of aphid could put some threatened plant species on Kangaroo Island at risk as researchers from the University of South Australia confirm Australia’s first sighting of Aphis lugentis on the Island’s Dudley Peninsula.
It is another blow for Kangaroo Island’s environment, especially following the Black Summer bushfires that decimated more than half the island and 96 per cent of Flinders Chase National Park.
Collected by wildlife ecologist Associate Professor Topa Petit and identified by colleagues from the WA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, the black aphids were found feeding on seedlings of Senecio odoratus, a native species of daisy, commonly known as the scented groundsel.
