A Message to All Beach Users A message to all beach users Boating and swimming only zones The Victorian Government has implemented boating and dedicated swimming only zones adjoining Port Phillips beaches between Sandridge and Elwood. The zones are clearly marked by upgraded navigation markers located on the water and signage on the shore. The changes within this area include: • Swimming only zones in front of Sandridge, Port Melbourne and South Melbourne Life Saving Clubs • Swimming only zone on Middle Park Beach between Wright and Armstrong streets • Swimming only zone for the entire length of St Kilda Beach from St Kilda Pier to Marina Reserve • Revised shared wind sport area within St Kilda Harbour • Boating only zone at St Kilda Marina entrance. Please see the accompanying map. Personal Watercraft (PWC) or jet ski behaviour The Marine Safety Act 2010 (Vic) introduces new responsibilities on both recreational owners and users of PWCs, including: • PWCs and other vessels are not permitted to enter or remain in dedicated swimming only zones. • In other areas, PWCs and other vessels must not exceed five knots (8 kms per hour) within 200 metres of the shore. • PWCs and other vessels must not exceed five knots (8 kms per hour) within 50 metres of swimmers, other vessels and fixed or floating structures. On-the-spot fines are applicable for operators found to be contravening these rules. Hoon boating laws Hoon behaviour is dangerous and may cause someone to get hurt. It can include: • Performing ‘doughnuts’ within 50 metres of swimmers or other water users • Speeding more than five knots (8 kms per hour) within 50 metres of swimmers or within 200 metres of the shore. Victoria Police may seize or impound vessels, including PWCs if it is believed they are being or have been used in committing a relevant offence.

Initially it was found only in Corio Bay, but during the past fiveyears it has spread so that it now occurs throughout the western half of Port Phillip Bay. • Densities of Sabella in many parts of the bay remain low but densities are usually higher (up to 13/m2 ) in deeper water and they extend into shallower depths in calmer regions. • Sabella larvae probably require a 'hard' surface (shell fragment, rock, seaweed, mollusc or sea squirt) for initial attachment, but subsequently they may use their own tube as an anchor in soft sediment . • Changes to fish communities following the establishment of Sabella were analysed using multidimensional scaling and BACI (Before, After, Control, Impact) design analyses of variance.
