Reference:
Biofilter Bay is a small bay, that goes far into the shore and is protected by steep cliffs on one side. The bay is free from sea currents. The vertical rocky wall extends down to 7-8m. under water, then the slope becomes flatter and gradually turns into a silted seabed at a depth of 12-15m. From the water's edge down to 6-7 meters, there are brown seaweed - fucus and kelp. Local dwellers are starfish and Ascidiacea sp, one can also come across Nudibranchiata molluscs, gastropods and bivalve molluscs. The name ‘the Biofilter Bay’ comes from the numerous water filtering aquatic animals that inhabit this area.
