PIANC WA – COOGEE MARITIME TRAIL BREAKFAST 30 March 2021
March 30, 2021 @ 7:30 am - 9:00 am
The PIANC WA Chapter, Subcon and the City of Cockburn invite PIANC members to a briefing on the Coogee Maritime Trail and a free BBQ breakfast.
The trail applies Subcon’s Integrated Artificial Reef concept to Coastal Developments. It demonstrates how owners of coastal infrastructure can create facilities that promote community wellbeing and cohesion, integrate into the natural environment and promote fisheries abundance.
Attendees may wish to bring a snorkel and experience the dive trail between 0800 and 0830am (before breakfast!). The underwater trail begins in shallow water while its westernmost extent reaches a maximum depth of 7 metres. Most of the trail is around 2.5 to 5 metres deep, making it suitable for snorkelers and novice divers.
Located only 25 metres from the shore, the dive and snorkel trail encompasses WA’s premier shore-based shipwreck, the Omeo and nearly 70 purpose built reef habitats, ranging in height from 1m to 5m tall. The unique sections create a complex reef that includes lots of cave-like spaces to support fish, crays and molluscs and are great for snorkelling!
