"Shellfish reefs were once the dominant habitat over up to 50% of the seafloor of Port Phillip Bay"
Goes a long way to explaining the reports of abundant snapper back in the day.

I can remember as a teenager finding mud oysters along the second sandbar in about 1.5 - 2 metres of water off the beach at Seaford. I don't think that they are there now though.

Me too Larry.

This sounds like a great idea, l think just about any structure put into the bay is a great idea

There's some not far from there in slightly deeper water but not much in shallow. Doesn't stop the good size frogs when the weathers warm though
