Hinksia

 I have been trying to track down what the brownish gloop is that grows everywhere in the water towards the end of Summer. As the water warms up this stuff thickens up.  I have been reading a book about the Jawbone Sanctuary in Williamstown. It talks all about this stuff called Hinksia which is an algae and can bloom quickly with warm water and nutrients washed thru after a storm.  I have seen it each year and clouds the water with blobs that have peeled off from the foliage below.


I have a new replacement door on my Gopro so I am back in business for underwater filming if the weather allows.

Colour does not match but it closes nicely.
Haven't tested  it under water yet.
