Comments and Feedback
Second survey on this location, pleased to see there was a lot less debris. The last survey was 2 months ago. We will carry out bi-monthly surveys to see how things progress. This area has an abundance of sensitive saline including Sea Horses and pipe fish living in the sea grass.
