1258 - 1425hrs.......full station cleaning carried out......biofouling still appeared minimal despite interval since last cleaning........when the calibration unit was first connected the readings form the data upload did not register and we had to go back out , disconnect and reconnect the unit before the system picked up and registered its presence......hence the delay in cleaning and the calibration unit was not removed from the system until the following day
Because of the slightly increased tilt to the unit, one of the rope legs (Se'n) became slightly slackened and was rubbing on a nearby coral head and suffered some (apparently minimal) abrasion damage. ......we removed the offending piece of coral and added more rope to the system to provide more support but reckon the tilting is the problem.
