Abstract:
This point layer represents the approximate locations of the centre of the 6 artificial fishing reefs located in Port Phillip Bay installed to provide recreational fishing opportunities. Three boat based reefs are located on the Eastern side of Port Phillip Bay: Yakka Reef off Frankston, Tedesco Reef off Seaford and Rec Reef off Aspendale were installed in 2009. Three shore based reefs in a water depth of between 3-4.5 metres, approximately 40 metres seaward of Frankston Pier, and 40 to 70 metres seaward of Portarlington Pier's rock-wall section and the end of Altona Pier were installed in 2012.
