Medical Log a powerful tool

Thanks to all those who have responded with their stories of Port Phillip pollution-related illness. The Clean Ocean Foundation Port Phillip Beaches Medical Log is set to become a powerful tool in convincing governments at all levels to SPEND on adequate sewerage and stormwater solutions for Melbourne and surrounds. Eye or ear infections, rashes, bacterial skin infections (ulcerations) after swimming/sailing/diving? Let us know, with your details so that we can follow up: info@cleanocean.org

Not good enough!
