Species List: Intertidal search, in front of the Humpybong Yacht Club, Woody Point, Redcliffe Peninsula, 30-07-2015.

11 species sighted at the intertidal flats in front of the Humpybong Yacht Club, Woody Point, Moreton Bay, S.E. Queensland.

A 2 hour sieving excursion in the shallow silt at low water adjacent to sea grass and algae patches. A rewarding outcome for repetitive effort with 3 species being added to our list.

This report is late in being posted but some time was needed to confirm several of the bubble shell ID's for which we thank Bob Burn.
