Estuary event details

Estuary	Anglesea River Estuary
Region	Corangamite CMA
Event type	Water level
Date and time	25 August 2025 08:00am
Description	Corangamite CMA staff visited the Anglesea River estuary five days after an artificial estuary opening that took place on the 20th of August. Water was still flowing steadily out to sea and had scoured sand to form a deeper channel than what was seen on the day of the opening. (markings on pole in images are every 10cm) Water level recorded from the 235278A ANGLESEA RIVER AT GREAT OCEAN ROAD BRIDGE monitoring station has dropped from 1.738 m at the time of the opening to 1.39m at 8:00am. There was a similar amount of dead fish to what was seen the previous week along the water line of the river mouth. Some had obviously been eaten by birds. There was still signs of flocculant on the river bed. The colour varied from milky white to orange. A lone pelican was also seen at the river mouth
