North Moreton Artificial Reef is a shallow site located north of Moreton Island.

The reef was designed mainly to attract pelagic fish for spearfishing, but fishing is also allowed.

The site consists of 25 large square concrete modules called fish boxes installed in three clusters of six boxes, covering an area of 200ha.

The average depth is 14m.

North Moreton Artificial Reef Fish Species

Trevally, mackerel, kingfish and cobia are the main catch, but other species show up as the modules attract bait schools.

Snapper, cod and flathead are also caught around the structures, but most boaters chase bottom fish on the deeper natural reefs in the region.
