(1) Yes. I table a copy of an assessment of the impact of fodder on harbour waters. As a result of this assessment the Fremantle Port Authority marine quality monitoring program includes analysis of nutrient levels in port waters. [See paper No 1016.] (2) Routine visual monitoring of impacts such as dust and spillage is a part of regular port patrols by FPA staff, and complaints are investigated if they arise. Environmental impacts are being covered through the FPA marine quality monitoring program. Health impacts for stevedoring employees are the responsibility of the employer. (3) As above. Should the member have any specific concerns regarding the impacts of loading stockfeed pellets, the FPA would be pleased to investigate them if they fall within its jurisdiction.
