The weather has calmed down and the underwater visibility has improved. Managed to clean the underwater camera in moderate visibility. Water temperature now 9.3C. Managed to have a look round the seabed around the camera site. The algae is now beginning to grow strongly, presumably triggered by the lengthening days. Very few crabs around and even fewer prawns. The number of sea squirts is also well down compared with mid-autumn last year.

The spring low tides are currently very low, some of the lowest tides of the year. Part of the camera pontoon is exposed above the waterline at low tide.
