The collection sites

The collecting sites are close together but have very different features:

  • Site one - just off Diamond Bay (near South Head) is dominated by cliffs that drop to 35m water depth and is exposed to all weather conditions.
  • Site two - just off Manly Beach is a gently sloping surf beach which is sheltered from the weather.
