C.Y. O’Connor Beach

Can you believe this popular Perth dog beach is fighting back against climate change?

Discover how Western Australia's first engineered artificial reef is transforming C.Y. O'Connor Beach. This innovative 100m structure is built from 135 concrete modules, designed to break waves and protect the coastline from erosion.

Early results are in, and they're impressive! Researchers have already observed a significant 20% reduction in wave energy. Plus, the new reef has become a thriving marine habitat, with fish species jumping from 29 to an incredible 57.

It's not just for marine life anymore – locals are already enjoying this fantastic new snorkeling spot. We even spotted a seal! This trial is showing promising results for coastal protection and new eco-tourism opportunities.
