 It may be sea grass bases. They (not too sure of the dept) are trialling seagrass regrowth in the sound. Hundreds of those things out there and I spoke with a guy working on this project at Woodies recently who said they were having some good success. Install a few hundred of those covering a few hundred sqm and they will still be chasing their tails trying to catch up with the destruction of many times the area by Cockburn Cement. Great work but fighting a losing battle unfortunately.
