21 Jan Woodside in Collaboration for Dampier Artificial Reef Installation

(Oilandgaspress) -Recfishwest and Woodside Energy announce the installation of the Dampier Artificial Reef – a new, purpose-built artificial reef designed to support local fishers and enhance marine biodiversity off the Western Australian coast.
The Dampier Artificial Reef is backed by scientific research and community input, aiming to create a new
marine habitat and boost recreational fishing opportunities in the Pilbara region.
The reef consists of 48 purpose-built concrete modules installed in approximately 35 metres of water, near
Rosemary Island in the Dampier Archipelago, Western Australia.
With the support of the WA Government, City of Karratha, Traditional Owners and fishing clubs, the installation
of the Dampier Artificial Reef represents a significant collaboration to provide an accessible and productive
marine environment the community can enjoy.
The new reef aims to provide a high-quality fishing location for species such as mackerel, trevally, cobia, cod
and even sailfish, while supporting local tourism.
