La Collette Reclamation, 2014.
The rich intertidal gullies and reefs shown in the previous image, once home to many species of marine life, have been wiped out, the ‘land’ being considered of little value by the official valuer! Now the reclamation site changes currents and scours the bay, The earlier ash pits leach heavy metals off the bottom and it is not yet known what damage they do.
