Appendix 3: Signs

Temporary health warning sign

These signs should be erected at entrances to sites as soon as possible following contamination events. Dimensions for these signs may vary, but they should be clearly visible from site access points.

Temporary health warning [date]: This coastline is polluted. Collecting seafood or swimming is not recommended. (This sign will be removed when water quality improves).

Permanent health warning sign

These signs should be erected at sites where faecal material is known to be contaminating the water on an ongoing basis. Generally these sites will either not be graded, or will be graded as Very Poor and are therefore unlikely to be monitored regularly until improvements are made.

Dimensions for these signs may vary, but they should be clearly visible at all times.

Health warning: This coastline is polluted. Collecting seafood or swimming is not recommended.
