Report illegal fishing activity on Capel Sound Foreshores

Port Philip Bay’s intertidal zones are protected areas. The intertidal zone is defined as the area starting at the maximum high water mark to a point where the water is 2m deep at any time.

All animals and plants that live in their intertidal zone are critical parts of the food chain. Removal of invertebrates (animals without backbones such as crabs, snails, shell fish and sea urchins) from this zone may seem harmless, but it represents a loss of food for other species.

These invertebrates are protected in the intertidal zone and MUST NOT BE COLLECTED. Penalties apply.

You can help! Report illegal fishing activity by calling 13 3474 (13 FISH).
