At Reef Worlds we have been leading the Dynamic Reef Revolution.
ARTIFICIAL reefs at Quindalup, near Dunsborough were already working, according to the Minister for fisheries Troy Buswell.
He said fish had been seen in good numbers in and around them since they were installed last month.
He officially opened the reefs, which cost $2.38 million, at the Quindalup boat ramp today.
Mr Buswell said the reefs would enhance fishing in the area and the reefs were designed to increase fish stocks in Geographe Bay.
“These reefs are already attracting fish and are expected to increase the population of numerous species,” he said.
The artificial reefs have the support of Recfishwest. Its chief executive Dr Andre Rowland said he was pleased to see funding from recreational fishing licences contribute to the project, which had already shown positive results for the fishing community.
