Description | Shag Rock West, on the exposed northern side of Shag Rock, features a gentle rocky slope with patchy hard corals and consistent populations of sea urchins. According to locals who frequent Shag Rock, a small boat crashed on the site in 2015, resulting in high counts of boat and anchor damage for that year. This site was established in 2009 to gain a better understanding of the variety of habitats around Shag Rock. |
