There were some big schools of what I thought were anchovy seen off Chelsea and Mordialloc pier last week. I'd be interested to know where you met your swim buddies. Sounds like a lot of fun Joel!

I was just in the middle of a giant school of fish that looked just like the ones in the pictures and they were forming a mass circle or fortification around me but i think they were using me as protection against those damn seagulls because the sea gulls were having a mass feast until i came in, it was the most amazing thing and i'm going back this afternoon for more. There were thousands, hundreds and thousands of them... WOW!!!

I'm hoping to find someone who'll who'll take up where Nicki left off. Not necessarily weekly testing though. I reckon once a month would be fine. I know Nicki regularly recorded very high phosphate levels, possibly due to a leaking sewer. Since Nicki completed her monitoring there has been some major structural work on the drain. Would certainly be interested to learn if the water quality has improved. Too right Julian! I’m hoping to find someone who’ll who’ll take up where Nicki left off.
