Port Phillip Bay Recreational Artificial Fishing Reefs

dataset: PPB_RECREATION_FISHING_REEFS
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.

Resource Type
Dataset  
Purpose
This layer was created for inclusion in the Victorian Oil Spill Response Atlas to identify the location of artificial recreational fishing reefs in Phillip Bay.

David Ball, FRB and Kalu Ribush 
Supplemental Information
History: Original data created by FRB included three offshore reef locations. Data updated in 2015 with addition of three new near-shore reefs. Current Design Issues: The position of the shore based reefs was estimated based on a description on the info sheet available online.

Positional Accuracy
Comments
Locations for the boat based reefs were determined using DGPS with accuracy +/- 3m. The position of the shore based reefs was estimated based on a description on the info sheet available online, the accuracty is likely to be +/- 20m.
