William Wright on Kangaroo Island for trade between KI and Port Adelaide. The resulting bay has been caused by thousands of years of tidal actions buffeting across these obstacles. No one knows how the sand drift of Hog Bay Beach or the unusual tidal movements within Hog Bay operate. During 1997 the local community began a joint Coast Care monitoring program for Hog Bay Reef and sand movement along Hog Bay Beach. This program links students from the Penneshaw School, community and participating visitors with a long term Coastal Management study of local marine geography and sand movements within Hog Bay.
Kangaroo Island is surrounded by rich temperate waters.
We are the meeting place of the Pacific and Indian Oceans unique biospheres. Any manmade alteration to a natural feature will have affects that are unknown.
