Attention skippers – Mooloolaba shoaling event
Skippers are urged to navigate the Mooloolah bar crossing with extreme caution. Coastal bars are dynamic and conditions can change quickly.
📍 Our latest hydrographic survey conducted on Friday shows the shoal appears to be naturally dissipating.
⚓ Vessel operators are advised to use the western channel.
🦺 In Queensland, you must wear a *lifejacket when crossing a coastal bar.
Mariners are advised to check conditions carefully and use the deeper water available in the Western Channel which is marked by Virtual aids to Navigation.
