Sørsjetéen: SCUBA event to expand the kelp forest along the jetty
Sat 24 Oct
|Sørsjetéen
Exceptionally, we are inviting SCUBA divers to join at Sørsjetéen, to remove urchins on the deep slope at the end of the jetty. This is where the urchin density is the highest, and it is relatively inacessible to snorkelers.
