Dredging at East Coast National Sailing Centre until 26 Jul 10

There are few gently sloping sandy shores at East Coast Park. And on such shores, we have often found amazing marine life such as sea fans and brittle stars, burrowing moon snails, sand dollars and button snails.
But these are often wiped out by coastal works which has been relentless as works to deal with coastal erosion and park upgrading continues. And of course, the East Coast was badly hit by the oil spill last month.

Here's some past sightings on this stretch of East Coast shore affected by the sand dredging.
