Around the low water mark,
kelp beds grow.
Network of rockpools,
boulder shore.
Long-legged bar-tailed godwit,
expert
at finding
mud and sand-living worms.
Seabed of rocky reefs,
shipwrecks dived within and around.
Wrasse and lumpsucker.
Seashore Code.
Remembered rambles,
geology jaunts.
Soft coral communities.
Relic dunes.
