> Seen this dibri while out canoeing in our Avon Heathcote Estuary on 6/7/25 after 12.45pm - launching near the bridge and paddles on the far right side nut I got many long trails of the same as I also paddled left towards the end of Rocking Horse Rd so towards the mouth. The worst of it was on the far left the water was constantly brown and could not see the bottom all or many of the rocks. The shore line is filled with black sludgy mud. Is the a link on this website so we can check out the water
