The picture illustrates the damage caused by regular dump weight and chain
type moorings.
This particular area is a nursery for juvenile fish and crustaceans, the resultant
loss of habitat by scouring the seabed with chains has led to a marked reduction in the safe area for these small fishes to
grow.
Tests have shown that the seagrasses can recover, however it is a long process which needs to be
addressed immediately.
