Scum formed from blue-green algae
  The King Island community has identified several issues of concern for our waterways:
 

Salinity

Water logging and poor drainage

Nutrient runoff, and associated blue green algae outbreaks

Erosion of creek and river systems

Water pollution

Acid sulphate drainage

Sedimentation and degradation of rivers and creeks due to uncontrolled livestock access

Loss of native vegetation along river ways

Degradation of coastal lagoons

  King Island Waterwatch is working to investigate and monitor these issues.
