Water testing was conducted after several days of strong winds and unusually high tides. Large amounts of seagrass had been pushed high onto the sandbank on the foreshore and some into the pool at outlet of Griggs Creek into the bay.

This time the water sample was taken from the flowing stream of the creek above the waterlevel of the outlet pool. Previously water was sampled directly from the pool.
