Warning issued to dog owners after unpleasant finding on Australian beach.

Attention all dog owners! We have an important message for you regarding the misuse of dog waste dispensers at a popular beach in New South Wales. The Bega Valley Shire Council recently shared a photo on social media that showed numerous dog waste bags scattered across Merimbula's Main Beach. It's disheartening to see such a beautiful location being affected by this irresponsible behavior.
As a result, the council has decided to remove the dog waste bag dispensers along Ocean Drive in an effort to combat this issue. However, they need your help! The council is asking all residents to do their part by bringing their own dog waste bags and disposing of them properly in a bin. Let's work together to keep Merimbula beautiful for everyone, especially as summer approaches.
It's worth noting that all the bags pictured were found in just one day and were discarded in the dunes within a small area of 50 meters. This is a concerning trend that needs to be addressed before it gets out of hand. We urge all dog owners to be responsible and take their own dog bags with them on future outings. If we all do our part, we can keep our beaches clean and enjoyable for everyone.
In a comment on the council's post, the Far South Coast Landcare Association revealed that the bags in the photo were actually collected by their members while they were removing invasive weeds last month. It's alarming to see that even those who are actively working to improve the environment are facing this issue. Let's not make their job any harder and ensure that we dispose of our dog waste properly.
