Pipi fishing banned at Goolwa Beach in South Australia due to E coli risk

Pipi fishing has been banned at Goolwa Beach south of Adelaide after E coli bacteria was detected at levels considered unsafe for human consumption.

About 20 kilometres of beach from the Murray Mouth to Middleton Point has been closed to fishing the molluscs, also known as cockles, by Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) as a precautionary measure.

PIRSA Fishing and Aquaculture director Sean Sloan said the levels of E coli in the pipi were not safe for human consumption and could cause food poisoning if eaten.
