Sand borrow areas were digitised from the shaded relief maps. Marine protected area boundaries were included from coordinates provided by Parks Victoria. These were supplemented with biological information from: • Victorian Subtidal Reef Monitoring Program (SRMP) provides quantitative data at 118 sites between Warrnambool and Cape Howe (1998 to 2015); • Victorian Intertidal Reef Monitoring Program (IRMP) includes 20 sites from Warrnambool to Bunurong (2003 to 2014); • intertidal reef assemblage descriptions by Bennett and Pope (1953), King et al.
