Black balls wash up on Sydney beach

Recommended Posts

Workers are investigating hundreds of mysterious black balls that have washed up along the coastline at Coogee Beach and Gordons Bay, forcing them to close.

Probably debris from some cargo ship as suggested in the video.  No Good!!

After the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, we had these things washing up on the beaches of Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, for months and months.

Chemical testing has identified them as hydrocarbon-based tar balls, local officials said.

Tar balls can form when slicks of spilled oil are battered by wind and waves, mixing to form a sticky seawater emulsion that eventually breaks into smaller pieces or "balls".

The source is still unknown.

Little goops of tar wash up on central California beaches quite frequently. Natural oil seeps are the main culprit.

The mysterious black balls that washed up on Sydney’s beaches in mid-October were likely lumps of “fatberg” containing traces of human faeces, methamphetamine and PFAS, according to a new detailed analysis of their composition.

Initial reports suggested the ominous lumps were probably tar balls from an oil spill. However, analysis with a barrage of scientific tests has revealed a more complicated picture.
