Now that the Twofold Bay has been sunk we are moving on to the next phase of the project to place 50 concrete reef cones on the seabed surrounding the vessel. These pyramid shaped cones will help protect the vessel in rough weather and add habitat for invertebrates, reef fish and crayfish. We are planning on placing the first batch of 10 cones on the seabed in October and subject to finance, the remainder by Christmas.
