what is the issue with seagrass?
Seagrass grows in the vicinity of Quarantine Beach and can die back as a result of propeller wash and associated sedimentation, as well as anchor damage. We have mapped all of the seagrass to determine seasonal distribution and to provide a benchmark to monitor from. Our ferry will use a set route into and out of Quarantine Wharf that avoids the main seagrass area.
