Boat activity

• Not so many fishing vessels on the water this Sunday with all the fog (total count of 4)
• 7 tour boats, mostly in the afternoon as the fog faded

Ecological happenings

• Two Californians spotted with relatively fresh gashes
• Californian seal lion brand 8329 and 9776 spotted (need to verify whether this record has been collected)
• Commenced looking for tangled sea lions in preparation for detanglment on Oct 28th
• 3 Dunlins spotted

Maintenance

• Cheeky sea lions continue to dismantle the electric fence and drop equipment into the water, so we’ve been on top of mending it.
