the estuary has been closed for some time now, for some months, over the christmas period, heavy usage occurred. There has been no flow, the water level seems to be dropping. The shores of the estuary are lined with algal growth & near the bridge there is some vegetation dying, however there seems to be a healthy population of fish & bream
