totally. i used to collect cockles but not anymore, not worth it

Noah Bennett2026-07-10T00:41:42.000Z

what a load of shit. they test for stuff and still ppl get sick. makes no diff

Jordan Bell2026-07-10T01:05:42.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. they do their job. it's the polluters causing this

we saw a sign at the boat ramp and turned around. not worth the risk. fresh mussels can wait.

poor families that rely on collecting for dinner. not everyone can just 'buy' their way out of this

Alex Rivera2026-07-10T01:35:42.000Z

facts. even paua now. just a money grab at the shops

Ella Thompson2026-07-10T01:30:42.000Z

ffs another one. feels like every month there's a new warning. what's actually causing these blooms?

Noah Bennett2026-07-10T01:50:42.000Z

nah bro that's how ppl end up on life support. read the room

Eva Anderson2026-07-10T02:18:42.000Z

climate change + runoff. same story different day

Eva Anderson2026-07-10T01:45:42.000Z

did a uni project on paralytic shellfish toxins. nasty stuff. 0/10 do not recommend ignoring the warnings lol

Taylor Wright2026-07-10T01:59:42.000Z

wonder how long this will last. was planning a trip up that way next month

Leo McKenzie2026-07-10T02:16:42.000Z

usually a few weeks. fingers crossed it clears before your trip

Stay safe everyone. Better safe than paralysed I guess.
