Victoria installed three artificial reefs for Port Phillip Bay boaters in May 2009.
These are in addition to reefs installed for landbased fishermen.
The reefs of concrete “pallet balls” were put 11m deep, about 2km out from Aspendale, Seaford and Frankston.
These reefs produce most local species, including flathead, squid and snapper.
