    The Environment Agency have been warned of a 'fatty' orange substance which has washed up on local beaches.

    Residents walking the Sefton Coast are asked to keep a lookout for anything unusual.

    Residents along the Fylde reported the findings .



    The Environment Agency is aware and we are working closely to monitor the incident. Tests are being carried out to identify the substance, and partners from the Marine and Coastguard Agency are gathering information on the location and quantity.

    The substance can be described as fatty, oily, greasy with a rancid aroma and bright orange in colour.

    Our rangers are patrolling the beaches to monitor the situation and provide updates regularly. So far, substances have been found on beaches in Knott End, Fleetwood and Cleveleys.

    The beaches remain open, but we advise to supervise children carefully and keep your dog on a lead. Please avoid all contact with residue on the beach and in the water due to potential health risks.

    Ambergris (from the Old French "ambre gris" which in English is "grey amber"),aka Whale vomit, is a solid waxy flammable substance , produced in the digestive system of sperm whales.

    It is dull grey or blackish in colour.

    So, unfortunately, this stuff looks to be the wrong colour.

    Sewage fatberg! Can be used for fuel but don't let dogs near it - if they eat it they will be very sick! Similar flotsam has appeared on French beaches and on the Kent coast.

    Beware of the ‘ Orange, greasy, fatty, rancid ‘ thing.

    Anti-Brexit mine.
