Explore the dynamic estuarine areas of Screw Creek at Anderson’s Inlet, Inverloch, where you’ll find coastal scrub, open woodlands, mangroves, saltmarsh and mudflats, along with inhabitants of Anderson’s Inlet, a significant site for wading birds, fish breeding and endangered species such as the orange bellied parrot.
Estuaries form a transition zone between river and ocean environments.
Subjected to tides, waves and the influx of seawater, as well as flows of freshwater and sediment, they are some of the most productive natural habitats in the world.
You will have an opportunity to use mist nets to sample critters of Screw Creek; beetles, fish fly (aquatic insects) crabs, worms, and our favourite the snapping shrimp.
Snapping shrimp measure in at a couple of centimetres, yet their snapping claw can grow to be half the size of their body.
