Nice idea - trying to bring back marine life to Port Phillip Bay:

"We sail out into the bay to start repairing the damage. Andy and Scott Breschkin are divers and scientists – and today, they are testing a world-first experiment to repair our bay and others like it.

"Our vessel is a 35-year-old retired abalone boat. We have four white bottles of air, two yellow hoses, and a captain named Will Morgan. As we sail out from Black Rock Jetty, he pulls up his buff so all we can see is his sunglasses, which reflect endless grey-blue.

"The plan: head to the most damaged, denuded part of the bay, and try to make life grow anew. The spot is easy to pick – a dump site. Nature Conservancy Australia, the charity for whom Andy and Scott work, plan to build a new shellfish reef on top of it."
