Notes

Physical condition data taken from Willy Weather website.

An extra photo was taken the day after monitoring, thought that we should include a better shot of where inlet had been recently opened.

Earlier in the week, there had been an area roped off at the mouth to protect nesting Hooded Plovers. This has been removed.
