They are working with the Port Authority and local council.
“They’re unsure where this substance is coming from but it is a large quantity,” Dewberry said.
“And it is bright green.”
Authorities believe it is a “neutral substance” that is not hazardous.
“Our investigations will continue but it is still a concern that we have this product going into the harbour,” Dewberry said.
Authorities will continue to investigate where the substance is coming from, clean up the area and/or declare it safe.
