Seven divers did surveys at Glennie Island, Norman Bay, Roaring Meg, Tongue Point, Refuge Cove and Bareback Bay.
Parks Victoria marine science manager Dr Steffan Howe said healthy populations of long- snouted boarfish, banded morwong and rock lobster were also found.
Popular oval gets makeover
DROUIN'S Bellbird Park oval will be resown with drought-tolerant grass during a $300,000 upgrade.
