💨 Abstract

Nine beaches in Sydney, including Manly, were closed due to small white and grey balls of debris washing ashore. The Northern Beaches Council is working to remove the matter. Most samples are marble-sized, and authorities are collaborating with environmental agencies for testing. Similar incidents occurred last October, and an investigation found the debris consisted of fatty acids, chemicals, hair, and food waste linked to wastewater.
