#moorings — Public Fediverse posts

"Seagrass meadows have been in decline around Sydney Harbour for decades, with moorings from boats among the biggest threats."

"Posidonia australis is a slow-growing plant native to the southern Australian coastline but is endangered in all six estuaries across New South Wales.The seagrass, which provides a safe and critical habitat for many juvenile fish, improves water quality, stabilises sediments and acts as a carbon sink by capturing and storing carbon dioxide, is struggling for survival."

"Purpose-built moorings are designed to remain buoyant, removing the need for traditional heavy chains dragging along the seabed, disturbing the seagrass marine ecology."

A few moments later and the #sun is partially obscured by #trees on the far #bank so the reflection of the canal is not so good.

Outside you get a better view of the #canal and #boats on their #moorings.

🌊🔬 Moorings are measurement platforms composed of an anchor, sensors and buoys which are vertically aligned & measure the properties of seawater (temperature, salinity, current velocity) and collect sediment particles.
