Notes

It was a clear and sunny day with partial clouds. We noticed (and cleaned) a lot of food waste and packaging along the shore. Water level was not particularly high despite rain. The water was crystal clear today and the current was fast and strong (made shapes in sand). Starting to see green shoots of things (grasses greening up). Some new trees have been planted and are up to medium height now. We encountered some cute, little Minos in the water. Some moss patches were growing along the shore. Based on this trip, in the future we will be looking at the depth and doing some research on invasive species in our area.
