	Port Phillip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Port Phillip seen from Frankston on the eastern shore of the bay.
		Port Phillip was formed about 10,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age, when the sea-level rose to drown what was then the valley of the Yarra, which flowed down what is now the eastern side of the bay.
		Port Phillip was then left undisturbed until 1835, when settlers from Tasmania led by John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner (who had been at the Sorrento settlement as a child) established Melbourne on the lower reaches of the Yarra.

	Parks Victoria: Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park page
		The southern Bay is Melbourne's summer playground and many of the areas within Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park are popular for a range of recreational pursuits from snorkelling and SCUBA diving through to passive recreation on the beach.
		In early European settlement, Port Phillip Heads was the major access point to the important grazing lands of the early colony and later to the rich goldfields of central Victoria.
		The southern Bay was also an area of concern to the emerging colony as a potential route for invasion by foreign powers expanding their influence in the region in the latter half of the 19th century.

	PPB Executive Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Port Phillip Bay is a large, temperate embayment in southeastern Australia that borders the major metropolitan areas of Melbourne and Geelong.
		Port Phillip Bay has also been the focus of a number of historical biological surveys, which makes possible an evaluation of historical patterns of invasion by exotic marine species.
		However, there are exotic species in Port Phillip Bay from all of the world's major bioregions (except the Antarctic) and evidence for the operation of a diverse range of introduction vectors.

	CMIS Research - Environmetrics - About Environmetrics - Older Projects - Port Phillip Bay
		The Port Phillip Bay Environmental Study (PPBES) team was led by Professor Graham Harris of CSIRO's Environment Project Office in Canberra.
		The 2000 square kilometre Port Phillip Bay is threatened by several conflicts of use, not least of which is the city of Melbourne on its shores with over 3 million inhabitants.
		Research by the University of California-San Diego, the Victorian Fisheries Research Institute and CSIRO demonstrated that sediments of the Bay were the key hidden component in the ecosystem, with their microbial denitrification systems determining whether the Bay would flourish or degrade irreversibly.

	MUD ISLANDS: PORT PHILLIP BAY'S NATURAL WONDER
		Port Phillip Bay is almost an inland sea, having only a narrow 3½ kilometre-wide entrance at the Heads.
		This is reflected in their listing on the Register of the National Estate and on the Ramsar list of wetlands, and more recently by their inclusion within the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park.
		The subsequent population explosion was due to eviction of the gulls from their traditional breeding site at Port Melbourne due to industrial development and the increasing availability of food at urban rubbish tips.

	Lagoon Effluent Treatment using Grass Filtration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Port Phillip Bay Environmental Study (1992–1996) concluded that there was a need to reduce nitrogen loads from WTP to lower the risk of eutrophication, especially during winter when grass filtration was in operation.
		The study involved field monitoring of seven trial grass filtration bays at the WTP for hydraulic and water quality data from mid-May to early-October 1997.
		The results of the pilot study revealed that the removal rates of these nutrients were higher during the first half of the trials than during the second half.

	Bayside Defences, Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne, Australia
		To the south of the City of Melbourne is Port Phillip Bay, a large expanse of sometimes turbulent water some 700 nautical square miles in area.
		The Commander of HMCSS Victoria, William Henry Norman, in 1858 suggested that if an enemy were to attack, the buoys in the shipping channels could be moved.
		Port Phillip was treacherous at the best of times, but shifting the buoys would ensure enemy ships would sooner or later go aground on sandbars or rocks.

	Ahoy - Mac's Web Log-The Discovery of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia, and its early settlement 1802 - 1835-
		On returning to Sydney his favourable report to Governor King found him urging the Duke of Portland to authorise the formation of a settlement at Port Phillip, as it appeared to have both good soil and a suitable climate, and also to stop the French from colonising this area.
		His choice was unfortunate, he seems to have come to Australia with a preconceived idea that his mission was bound to fail.
		All official attempts at settling Port Phillip and its surrounds had failed when using both soldiers and their convict charges, as land ran out in Van Dieman’s Land, the land hungry squatters now cast their eyes on the Western District of Victoria, to the west of Port Phillip Bay.

	Association of Bayside Municipalities: Port Phillip Bay
		To understand the planning and management framework, it is important to distinguish between who owns the asset, who is charged with direct management of the land or waters, and who is responsible for planning and regulating the way in which land or waters can be used at a local, regional or state level.
		It is also necessary to think of Port Phillip Bay in terms of its waters, coastal foreshore land and its regional catchment.
		In Port Phillip Bay the only significant area of unreserved land is the seabed of the Bay.
