15/05/2008: "SEA SNAKE ....... Former hard coral garden destroyed"
On the northern side of Great Keppel Island is/was this coral garden. Occasional venomous sea snakes would be seen here. Further offshore at Man and Wife Rocks the snakes were far more common.
Latest report from a local diving friend this month says all this beautiful hard coral around Great Keppel is virtually DEAD. Possibly killed by a vast flood of fresh water coming out of the Fitzroy River.
