Aerial spraying blamed for dead marine life on NSW north coast beaches

Government is investigating the cause as locals point the finger at a herbicide used by the National Parks and Wildlife Service

Dead marine life, including beach worms and pipis, found on a beach on the New South Wales mid-north coast has been blamed on aerial spraying of bitou bush around the Seal Rocks area.

Mid-north coast resident Lochlan Tisdell posted a video showing a pile of dead worms on the beach and blamed the herbicide used by the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
