Walkers noticed the oil-like substance on January 18, and said the substance was odourless.
However, NNDC officers visited the scene and said that the debris was just natural debris caused by a nearby highways drainage flush-out.
The NNDC officers were happy that no unnatural substances or rubbish were entering the water.
The tide washed it away later that day.
