It was back again to Kauri Creek for Seagrass Watch on Saturday. Kauri Creek is one of those special places in the Great Sandy Straits where you continue to be amazed by what you observe there.

Long time Seagrass Watcher in the Great Sandy Straits region, Gordon Cottle, accompanied us on the trip. Gordon is about to retire from his Seagrass Watching duties - his experience and knowledge will be sorely missed.

Long time local fishermen tell us that sea cucumbers were once commonplace in the Great Sandy Straits but virtually disappeared in the last 20 years. Hopefully this is a sign they are on their way back.
