Tony Fawaz, an Arab American, has managed to tread on different soils of different countries of the world - even those who have contrasting views towards Arabs and the Muslim community at large, especially because of terrorism associated with some community members. But besides the close looks and the thorough checks, this Palestine-born and American-raised man has managed to live in freedom and has even put up a very successful retail store in America.

One of the places in which this gentleman has managed to live is Australia. The one thing he found amazing in Queensland Brisbane is Moreton Bay, which is a crucial coastal resource in the region. This small bay is a popular destination both for recreation and commercially. The commercial operators here use the bay to supply the seafood market as the winds and gentle breezes soothe the souls of those who come here to relax and meditate on life.

The shipping channels here do a large traffic as it is a preferred crossing point to the northern section, as well as to the airport. This is because Moreton Bay has less noise pollution compared to the city runways. To serve the large numbers of people, there are water taxis, barges and ferries that travel within the bay.

This bay has sandbanks and is home to different environmental habitats; it has been a conflict zone between the initial European settlers and Indigenous Australians for a long period of time. Currently, the southern islands, as well as the foreshore mainland, are occupied since people settled here. There are off-shore series barriers here; thus the bay is described as lagoonal. The barriers restrict the flow of ocean water making the tidal waves moderate.

Moreton Bay has a shallow depth of 6.8m meaning that light can filter to the seabed. For this reason, marine plants have thrived creating a wonderful fauna seabed. Although shallow, it stretches over 1500 square kilometers and its catchment area is even larger. The blue waters are very fascinating although there are times when the Western area of the bay is green because of algae, and sometimes brown as a result of sediments that are suspended in the water.

This small bay is worth checking out when in Queensland, Australia.
