We're bringing shellfish reefs back to life in Port Phillip Bay — one reef ball at a time. In this 3-minute explainer, OzFish VIC Program Manager Andy Foudoulis breaks down how recycled shell is being used to supercharge fish habitat and restore what’s been lost.
Shellfish reefs once thrived in the bay, but decades of dredging, overharvesting and pollution left them functionally extinct. This project — the largest volunteer-led shellfish restoration effort in Victoria — is giving them a second chance.
By infilling existing reef balls with cleaned, cured shell, local fishers and volunteers are creating more complex habitat for native oysters and mussels to settle and grow. That means better fishing, cleaner water, and healthier ecosystems for everyone.
