Closure of Waters and Relocation of Wave Monitoring Buoy
Sepia Depression, West of Garden Island
Acting pursuant to Section 66 of the Western Australian Marine Act 1982, I hereby advise
that all waters delineated by the following coordinate boundaries are closed to navigation by
all vessels until 20 November 2012:
As plotted on chart AUS 117, Datum WGS 1984, printed 3 September 2004:
Lat 32° 14.979 ′S Long 115° 39.076′E
Lat 32° 15.056 ′S Long 115° 39.165 ′E
Lat 32° 15.132 ′S Long 115° 39.074 ′E
Lat 32° 15.054 ′S Long 115° 38.985 ′E
Sub sea infrastructure will be installed at this site in early 2011 comprising a wave energy
converter (CETO III unit) and associated subsurface moorings.
The perimeter of the closure area will be marked by 4 lit cardinal marker buoys,
approximately 3m in height (approximate deployment date is 14th November 2010)
Only vessels which are authorised by the Department of Transport are permitted to access
the closed water area.
Relocation of existing wave monitoring buoy:
A wave monitoring buoy already deployed in the vicinity of the close water area will be
relocated to a position inside the closed area.
Previous position: Lat 32° 14.950 ′S Long 115° 39.000 ′ E
New position: Lat 32° 15.091 ′S Long 115° 39.031 ′ E
This buoy is 1.1 meters in diameter, yellow in colour and fitted with a flashing yellow light
with a flashing sequence of FL (5) Y.20s
No vessel is to moor to, or interfere with this buoy at any time.
Mariners are advised to keep clear of the above closure area at all times and to
navigate with caution when transiting in the vicinity of the closed waters

Future fishing spot
Give it time to settle down then anchor right on the boundary upstream from it and lay out a burley trail ans sit and wait for the fish to come to you.

Its a wave monitoring system
old fart thinks its in roughly 40meters (west of GI), flat coral from memory he's fished that area, If you have a chart or GPS just put the longtitude and latitiude in should give you a rough estimate.

not far
out to the west of GI sits in 20m max, the wave generator is subsurface, and can be driven over at the moment, but sounds like it is about to change

Yep 20m - 22m
by my reckoning, about 1.7nm west of the southern tip of GI.

the existing one
is a very good place to quickly top up your bait supply. Always has a good school of yellowtail hanging arround.
And a heap of those blue spot bream. Even got little rat sambos.
Twin turbo..V8 diesel..Ohh what a feeling!!
