Five sites within Wilsons Promontory MNP, West Kanowna Island, Roaring Meg East, Southeast Landing, Church Rocks and Waterloo Bay North were surveyed in 2002 and again 2009 with the exception of Kanowna Island.
The surveys were commissioned by Port of Melbourne and two more surveys are scheduled in 2013 and 2019.
