Duck Arm putrid

Ross Scott lives on an enviable part of the Gippsland Lakes.
From his back verandah on the Banksia Peninsula he has views over Duck Arm, which opens onto Lake Victoria.
However, a succession of algal blooms in recent years has turned the once tranquil waterway into a putrid green mess.
“I’ve been watching this stretch of water go down the gurgler,” Mr Scott said.
