Sand gobies are small fish with a flattened triangular shaped head. They are a sandy brown colour with rusty red freckles which provide excellent camouflage against beach material. Their underside is creamy white and has an obvious dark blue spot on the rear of the dorsal fin.
Sand gobies are fish that live on muddy or sandy sea-beds. They are abundant in the coastal waters of the National Park.
Sand Gobies are able to adapt their colour to match the seabed. This gives them excellent camouflage to prevent attack from predators.
Carnivore - Sand gobies eat worms and small crustaceans.
Rising sea levels represent a big threat to coastal habitats and species. Within the National Park saline lagoons and salt marshes are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise and could be lost completely. Litter is also a big problem on the coast.
