Latest NewsMM2 - discovering what lives in our sand flats
Twice per year we take students from Colville School to Bree Beach to count and find out what species are living in the sandflats of Colville Bay. We also measure the distance from the surface to the anoxic (without oxygen) layer. The sand changes from brown to black, the darker sand has less oxygen. This gives us an idea of the health of the sandflats. If the anoxic layer is close to the surface it means the sandflats are unhealthy and it would be unlikely to find much living there. Plants and animals are great for bringing oxygen into the sediments. Plants roots create channels for air to move through and so do burrowing animals.
