Shellfish gathering ban lifted

25 September 2007

Shellfish gathering ban lifted

The warning not to collect or consume shellfish gathered from Otaki Beach and around the Otaki River mouth has been lifted.

Regional Public Health and Kapiti Coast District Council advise that the signs warning against collection of shellfish are being removed from the area.

The initial warning was issued on September 7.

Testing has continued over the past few weeks and no increased levels have been found. Testing of shellfish flesh proved negative and levels in water are below the warning levels.
