For those that dive Wetherill and Bull Pt a lot, you probably noticed that the deep walls at the mouths of the coves and at Bull Pt used to be covered in frilled anemones, but the anemones suffered a major anemone die off last winter/spring (2006). No telling what caused it, maybe disease or predators, but it left the walls pretty bare, which was too bad because it used to be a fairly pretty dive.
Sunday (3/26/07), Tampico_Ed and I did the wall at the point between the two coves and the anemones appear to be staging a comeback. The coverage isn't up to where it used to be yet, but there were some pretty substantial patches of anemone growth at around 45-50ft.
For those that are interested, water temps were 37-39 degrees F and vis was about 10 ft.
