Hundreds of thousands of oysters will be spread on the sea floor near Geelong under a major project aimed at restoring shellfish reefs.
The Nature Conservancy is focusing its rehabilitation efforts on Wilson Spit, which is south of Avalon, and a site off St Kilda.
The group has started works on stage two of its Australian-first program, which will see divers place 300,000 juvenile oysters on manually built beds of locally-sourced limestone.
