St Paul's Bay surface sludge keeps swimmers ashore

Update 6.13pm - Archbishop bemoans sludge A foamy surface sludge has coated the sea in parts of St Paul's Bay, sending swimmers scrambling ashore. In this photo sent to us by a Times of Malta reader, just one brave soul can be seen in the water, at a time when the area is usually full of beachgoers.  Archbishop Charles Scicluna was among those bemoaned the "gelatinous white sludge", which he blamed on nearby fish farms.  Have photos or video you'd like to share with us?
