点评:Allonby beach is the 4th most polluted area in England and Wales, and the 3rd most polluted in the North West, with 4'923 hours of sewage being discharged into the area in 2025. It is also the 4th worst area for illegal 'dry spills' with 428 hours recorded in 2025. These figures are based on the reporting supplied by the water company responsible, United Utilities. However, the true extend of the pollution could be even worse, as regulators have found that water companies often under-report, manipulate testing data, and fail to disclose illegal dry spills....so sad that a beach that appears so unspoilt is in fact being used as one of the biggest toilets in the country! And it makes it's status as being a Highly Protected Marine Area (HPMA), a complete farce!!...If you are visiting the area you should check the 'live sewage map' by Surfers Against Sewage, and avoid the water if there are any active, or recent, sewage releases. Or choose a less polluted beach to visit in the region, there are many that are far less risk to your health! (you can find pollution data for all beaches, and which ones are ranked worst/best on the Top of the Poops website)
翻译:阿伦比海滩是英格兰和威尔士污染第四严重的地区,也是西北地区污染第三严重的地区,预计2025年该地区将有4923小时的污水排放。同时,它也是非法“干式泄漏”(即污水排放)第四严重的地区,2025年记录在案的泄漏时长为428小时。这些数据基于负责该海滩的自来水公司——联合公用事业公司(United Utilities)的报告。然而,实际污染程度可能更严重,因为监管机构发现,自来水公司经常少报数据、篡改检测数据,并且隐瞒非法干式泄漏……令人痛心的是,这片看似未受破坏的海滩实际上却成了英国最大的公共厕所之一!这使得它作为高度保护海洋区域(HPMA)的地位完全沦为一场闹剧!……如果您计划前往该地区,建议您查看“冲浪者反污水组织”(Surfers Against Sewage)提供的“实时污水地图”,如果发现任何正在进行或近期发生的污水排放,请避开水域。或者选择该地区污染较少的海滩,有很多海滩对你的健康风险要小得多!(你可以在“Top of the Poops”网站上找到所有海滩的污染数据,以及哪些海滩污染最严重/最好)
