Diario del proyecto Aldinga Bay, South Australia

Hi ...

Dan - the creator of the Aldinga Bay Project - asked if I would take on a Curator role, which I've agreed to do.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed observations already. There are a couple of other people I will be talking to about contributing to the Project ... if you know someone who has an interest in the area, please encourage them to sign-up too!

The current list of obs shows what an incredibly diverse marine environment there is in Aldinga Bay and no doubt there's more to be found. There's also one or two questions yet to be resolved, not the least being the source of the mysterious gastropod egg cluster - see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/18572731

Happy exploring to all!

Several of my obs from Sellicks Beach were not being shown in the Aldinga bay Project. Working with Dan, we discovered it was because the boundary line 'polygon' was not precise enough (not enough enough data points) causing the line to bypass parts of the shoreline.
Dan has re-drawn the Aldinga Bay boundary with greater precision and to be sure, I've created a new 'place' called 'sellicks-beach'. This covers the area from Button Road (Washpool outlet) right through to the end of Shark Bay. Technically the area south of the Sellicks Reef is not Sellicks Beach but it's where I walk so its 'in'.
I wanted an official name to use for observations on the Shark Bay stretch but couldn't find one so I call it 'Sellicks Beach South'.
