An 'unusual' sight on the edge of a mangrove has left one scientist bemused. 9News
A Sydney wetland has turned pink in an unusual sight that left a top scientist on a mosquito survey bemused.
The wetland was in an "out of the way spot" within Bicentennial Park on the edge of a mangrove, a critical habitat that helps protect land from erosion."Wetlands are always changing but it's usually shades of green and brown, to see a pink pond was quite a surprise," he told 9news.com.au. 9news.com.au reached out to Sydney Olympic Park Authority, which has since confirmed the bloom is due to azolla – an aquatic, free-floating fern that is found in still or slow-moving water bodies.
