21.01.2022 CORAL SPAWNING UNDERWAY OFF COAST BEACHES If you've been wondering what is floating in waters off our coastline, local photographer Doug Bazley has the explan...ation. In simple terms, coral spawning is the reef reproducing. "I spent two weeks with a research team from the University of QLD many years ago we were on the barrier reef and this stuff was all around us," Mr Bazley said. "Coral polyps simultaneously release egg and sperm bundles that they've spent months growing into the ocean for external fertilisation." Professor Peter Harrison from the Marine Ecology Centre at Southern Cross University told ABC Sunshine Coast the coral spawning event takes place for a few nights after a full moon event in late spring, early summer. "It's one of the most spectacular wildlife events on earth," Prof Harrison said. "During these mass spawning events thousands of different colonies, many different species all spawn together in a few days." "Billions of larva are produced and some of them settle on the reef and start the reef regeneration process." Blueys Photography

19.01.2022 Noosa River markers are critical for boat safety in the shallow reaches of the tidal waterway. Keep your eyes peeled for them especially at night. They are not lit but do have reflective markers. Red for stay right/green for stay left coming down stream and the reverse going up

18.01.2022 Police presence very visible on noosa waterways this week. Is it Schoolies already?

15.01.2022 Sealions crew will be waving to you on the water this weekend. We hope that is the closest you will need to be to us. Listening for ur calls on vhf 16 & 22 and a wave at the ready. Happy Noosa weekend boating community

12.01.2022 WOLF ROCK - DOUBLE ISLAND POINT A local Aboriginal legend says two adventuresome boys paddled their bark canoe out to sea and were never seen again. These rocks are said to be the restless spirits of the lads and the event was used by elders to instil obedience into their children. Matthew Flinders recorded in his journal that he rounded Double Island Point in 'The Investigator' on Tuesday 27 July 1802 and took a depth sounding. He recorded the roc...ks lying between one and two miles offshore (about 2-3 km). Lt. E.P. Bedwell, R.N. conducted a detailed hydrographic survey of this part of Queensland's coast. His chart, produced in 1868 and received in Queensland 1869, is the first to show the name 'Wolf Rock'. There are three other pinnacles under the surface in 30 metres of water. The area is given special protection as it is a breeding area for the endangered grey nurse shark. Plenty of boats over the last two centuries have met their doom here. Coastguard Noosa (vhf 22 & 16) and Coastguard Tin Can Bay (vhf 16 & 80) cover this area for Marine assistance.
