This year Project Restore kicked off restorative activities in Sydney: from installing Living Seawalls to transplanting Posidonia australis seagrass to harvest urchins for kelp reforestation. We are incredibly proud of the work we are doing, check out our progress👇🏼! #marineecology 🦑 #restoration
What does restoring habitats in Sydney Harbour look like? Let us show you!

Check out the video to see the huge project milestones we have hit in 2024. We can't wait for 2025 and to continue making an impact.
