Comments and Feedback
As the Gold Coast Seaway was in the midst of some seriously terrible visibility, we were invited to assist a group of amazing ocean loving individuals and group at Wolf Rock. In a collaborative effort from the University of Queensland, Sealife Sunshine Coast, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Services, the Burnett Mary Regional Group and Wolf Rock Dive we hit the water to check and retrieve equipment used to monitor the activity of Grey Nurse Sharks in the area.
It was a sensational experience to be onboard with a group of ocean lovers with a shared passion to conserve and protect the marine environment.
