SEPTEMBER 2014 INSPECTION OF REDUNDANT MUSSEL LEASE IN WALLAROO, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Tony Bramley of Whyalla Dive engaged AUS-ROV to perform an ROV inspection on a disused mussel lease in Wallaroo, SA. The weather was perfect and visibility was around 20m which allowed for some great filming. The concrete blocks that make up the lease are positioned in grid form and connected by ropes. From the ROV footage we were able to determine the extent to which the infrastructure is still in tact and what method of removal can be used to clean up the site and make it more eco friendly. Some local dolphins came in to say g'day also, making for some great footage.
