| Description |
The river mouth was artificially opened at about 3pm, to coincide with a high tide. The AHD level at G2 prior was 1.46. Initially the release was slow and controlled but gained momentum overnight and was fairly ripping out when Judy and I inspected at 9am-ish the next morning. No evidence yet of any fish kill, though a lot of small fry have been stranded. The AHD level at 11.30-ish was down to 0.54 - after monitoring G2 and L1. |
