External video above is about the bay’s artificial reefs.

Three artificial reefs have been installed for Port Phillip’s landbased anglers.

They were installed in 2012 about 40m seaward of Frankston Pier, and 40m to 70m seaward of Portarlington Pier’s rock-wall section, and off the end of Altona Pier.

Each reef is 99 concrete reef balls of different sizes in three complexes of 33 reef modules each.

The reef modules are between 170kg and 340kg in weight and 50cm to 60cm in height, with openings to allow movement of currents and fish.

The modules are within casting distance of the piers.
