While DPI Fisheries is making final preparations before the Forster and Terrigal offshore artificial reefs are deployed later this year, the Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders, has announced new reefs for Ballina and Coffs Harbour for completion in 2024.
Once deployed and established we expect to see an abundance of fish from Mackerel, Kingfish, Mulloway and Snapper within a few short years.
DPI will now undertake further detailed assessments to determine the most suitable locations off Coffs and Ballina for the reefs to be placed.
