The place is also home to some 'king-size' mosquito's which can make life miserable (less active after early morning), especially when you are stationary. My solution is to wear long sleeved shirt (you can roll up the sleeves later) and trousers and a face mask also helps. You will find A. marina flowering and fruiting. It is said that the fruit can germinate while still on the plant - have never seen the phenomena personally - but do look for it. Have a nice day.
