Frankland Islands
Good morning all,
Just a quick note to update you on the beautiful conditions that we are experiencing out at the
In terms of visibility, yesterday was in the top 10 days that one of our skippers has experienced out there. We didn’t even need to use the Semi-sub you could make out all the coral and fish life from the surface. The water is warming up and so is the fish activity. Vast schools of grazing herbivores, including parrotfish and rabbit fish, patrol the sea floor in search of leafy algae. The larger reef species such as sweetlips, moray eels and coral trout are hanging out at the larger bombies ambushing prey. Our Eye On The Reef program has also reported regular sightings in excess of 6 marine turtles on some snorkel tours with Green, Hawksbill and Loggerhead turtles accounting for most of the sightings.
