Description

Cleveleland Bay has extensive and diverse seagrass meadows which support dugong, turtle and many other fish and invertebrates. This image shows the intertidal seagrass meadows when exposed at low tide. Dark green areas are patches of seagrass, while the brown areas are patches of sand and mud, with some light seagrass.
