Return to Lazarus after a decade
Today, for the first time in 10 years, I surveyed the natural shores at southern Lazarus Island!
It was great to see the coastal forests here are still thriving. As well as living sandy shores, rocky shores and lots of soft corals on the shore facing Kusu Island. The rest of the team also saw cone snails, nudibranchs and other interesting marine life.
There are not a lot of hard corals on this shore, as it has been on our past surveys.
But there was a good variety of hard corals. I didn t see any that were bleaching.
