Commercial Fisheries
The hostile seas, where the Southern Ocean meets with Bass Strait, that surround Cape Otway are home to some of the worlds most prized marine species including Cray fish and Abalone.

Commercial cray fishers use baited pots or traps throughout the reef system, with white floats on the surface marking their locations.
