The Leafy State - a photo on Flickriver

The Leafy State

            I canât begin to describe how much joy I feel whenever I encounter a leafy seadragon on a dive. This was especially true last weekend as I had not seen any leafies at Edithburgh for quite some time.

In the last 30 years I have seen the rise of the leafy seadragon from curious local critter to the South Australian icon it is today. We now have yearly leafy namesake festivals, giant murals in Adelaide Airport and other important public centres, and magazine articles about leafies appear regularly in local and international publications.

A small industry in leafy seadragon tours has emerged and divers from all over the world come to South Australia just to see leafy seadragons in the wild and take away their own personal images and memories.

In a sense South Australia has become the âLeafy Stateâ, and if this greater awareness helps protect and nurture these incredible and beautiful creatures, Iâm on board with that.

I love living and diving in the Leafy State!
