Station DA3/99/66
Location:
S coast of Enderby Island
Depth: Intertidal
Habitat: This narrow mangrove-lined (4 spp) creek cuts through limestone for several hundred metres and probably once completely dissected Enderby Island in a north/south direction. There are extensive middens of Terebralia shells along its west side. The bottom is mainly mud and rubble, supporting a depauperate benthic reef flat fauna with small coral colonies e.g. Galaxia and molluscs e.g. Tridacna maxima. Because of its depth there is movement of marine organisms (skates, sharks, turtles etc.) in and out with the tides.
