"Is your dredging or coastal development impacting natural reefs, and the permitting authorities demanding compensatory mitigation or environmental offsets?"
"Do you need to repair damaged coral reefs for fishing, coastal protection or toursim?"
"Are you looking to add value to your coastal development by increasing marine life and recreational fishing opportunities?"
We can help. We are the leading group in the design and construction of artificial reefs with specialist expertise in reef restoration programs. Contact us for an obligation free proposal.

Record Snapper Caught on VIC Reef Ball Reef
Ian Jones caught a 12.3kg snapper on 'Rec Reef' in late November, possibly a record for the year.
Ian commented that there were plenty of 5kg snapper on the reef, as well as large schools of baitfish.
Rec Reef is located 2km offshore from Aspendale in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria and is one of three recreational fishing reefs constructed by the Victorian Government. All three reefs are laid out in a geometric pattern covering 2,500m2 and using 96 Reef Balls each.
For details of the recreational fishing reefs, see the link below.
