A massive thank you to all our corporate supporters, sponsors and all the
amazing individuals who pledged for our crowdfunding or donate to our cause.
A huge thank you to the Ian Potter Foundation for supporting our 'Local to Global Strategies for Accelerating Kelp Restoration' initiative. With their help we are restoring crayweed forests at 10 critical sites along the Sydney coastline over a four-year period (2024-2027). In collaboration with the Kelp Forest Alliance, this effort aims to reconnect crayweed habitats, enhance the rich biodiversity they support, and ensure Australia contributes to the global mission of protecting and restoring 4 million hectares of kelp forests by 2040.
Many thanks go to Dorset Sutton and Jennifer Lim, who have made the restoration of crayweed in Cabbage Tree Bay (Manly) possible and who continue to support our work developing improved methods to re-establish crayweed in Manly and beyond. Many thanks to the John T Reid Foundation, who funded educational activities with Balgowlah North Public School possible. Special thanks also go to Tom Breen, Patagonia, Waverley Council, SISUU, SeaTrees, We Are Explorers, the Gemba Group, RelocateEU and Investa.
This is a flagship project from the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, a world-leading marine science institute and the principal marine research facility in NSW, Australia.
