Notes

The water was shallow. Just starting salinity baseline for this area. There was a abundance of algae, still thriving on top of the Iron oxide bacteria. The rocks are very unstable , and I personally fell twice. The rain has eroded underneath the rocks and made them all not secure in the ground, I recommend no one comes to this site right now.
