THE bodies of 24 Pacific black ducks were found in and around Lake Kimberley at Banora Point on Tuesday. The North Coast office of the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) received two calls advising of the duck deaths and has launched an immediate investigation.
A DECCW North Coast spokesman said two black swans, two moorhens, some turtles and water dragons had also been reported as being dead or sick.
“These two reports are the only reports of this nature received in the Banora Point and Tweed region,” the spokesman said yesterday.
“The department has staff investigating this incident today.
“The investigation will entail collecting samples of dead specimens, water sampling and questioning nearby property owners and businesses to identify the likely cause of this event.” Read More
