Underwater bottom footage of Shark Shoal

This underwater footage came to me today from a mate who works at GBRMPA. Apparently the Shark Shoal mark is actually an old wooden trawler. The footage isn't great quality, and is a few years old, but it gives you an idea of what the bottom actually looks like around these shoal/wreck marks.



The image below is a multibeam acoustic of the same location. Apparently the trawler is bang in the middle of the image.


This is all very interesting footage, I'll see what else I can drum up from him! Full credit to the GBRMPA. And thanks to Pete for sharing!
