Comments and Feedback
On 23 December 2018 we surveyed North Dry Rocks and North North Dry rocks. visibility was poor on the day but we managed to conduct a fingerprint search of the 2 parts of the reef. We collected a number of lobster trap parts both timber and concrete also some lengths of rope and boat trim.
