Two more reefs in Corio Bay - Fishing World

Two more reefs in Corio Bay
10 February 2021
TWO major fishing reef projects near Geelong are complete, creating more fishing opportunities.
The first project has delivered three reefs at Outer Harbour, St Helens and Kirk Point, each named with help from the community.
The trio of reefs were constructed with 2,000 tonnes of basalt as a base, sourced from the nearby Cherry Creek juvenile justice facility with help from VRFish and topped with 100 tonnes of limestone. This combination provided the perfect substrate upon which to seed 400,000 native flat oysters and 10 tonnes of blue mussels.
Oysters were sourced from the Victorian Shellfish Hatchery at Queenscliff and the mussels came from a local grower, Advanced Mussel Supply. Oysters and mussels will improve water quality, create diversity in sea floor fish habitats and boost productivity for fish and invertebrates.
