After the recent very warm spell of weather, the water in the Fleet has now reached 16.7C. The water out in Weymouth Bay has also warmed and reached 12.9C today.

After many weeks of poor underwater visibility due to heavy rain and strong winds, the visibility is now improving. There has also been a major increase in the number of fish on the camera. There are many two-spot gobies and a fair number of adult grey mullet. Also making a recent appearance are bass, ballen wrasse and a black-faced blenny. Above the camera pontoon there is now a large group of immature grey mullet, but so far they have not been seen on the camera.

Around the pontoon there are now large numbers of common gobies, and a steadily increasing number of shore crabs. As yet there are very few of the Palaemon elegans prawns.
