Port Erin beach closed due to diesel

Mon, 23 Jul 2018

Port Erin beach remains closed following a pollution incident.

Coastguard crews sealed the area off yesterday after the pollution was found in the area.

The lower part of the beach is covered in a light film of diesel, meaning the beach is closed at the high water mark.

The Isle of Man Coastguard says the conditions will be monitored over the next couple of high tides.

Members of the public are urged the avoid the lower part of the beach while the closure is still in place.
