Terry, Gary and Julie on this intertidal search of the Kings Beach boat ramp area, over a period of 2 hours, during a very low tide.
It was nice to be able to access those areas which are normally inundated except during the lowest of low tides. Although the number of Aplysia argus were down, it was interesting to encounter a number of Tritonia sp. 1, with the majority of the aeolids found under rocks which were well out of the water.
