May 24: Offshore Treasures of Mudjimba Island – Gary Cobb

Mudjimba Island, or as it is affectionately called, Old Woman Island is known for its underwater diversity. The substrate around the island is the home for many creatures including crayfish, wobbegong sharks, cowrie shells, rays and turtles – along with tropical reef fish, corals and one group of animals often called “Jewels of the Sea”. Nudibranchs are molluscs and can be seen on the bottom displaying brightly coloured bodies in all kinds of different shapes.

Gary Cobb who is the guest speaker at Friday Environment Forum on May 24, has been diving the island and outer reefs as well as the Mooloolah River at La Balsa Park for many years and has recorded thousands of species of nudibranch. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to see Gary’s amazing photography and learn about the many treasures of Old Woman Island.
