Through its vision to restore and connect degraded seascapes within Sydney Harbour for marine life and humans to thrive, Project Restore aims to restore the endangered Posidonia australis seagrass meadows, rehabilitate kelp-dominated rocky reefs, and install Living Seawall panels and fish habitat enhancement units (Reef Pods) across 10 carefully selected sites within the harbour.

Mosman is home to the first restoration activity of Project Restore, where, in collaboration with Mosman Council and the Environmental Trust, seagrass was transplanted for the first time in Sydney Harbour.

We’ll cover our upcoming and ongoing restoration plans, including updates on the recent seagrass planting at Cobblers Beach, the upcoming urchin harvest at Morella Reserve, how we are monitoring the health and biodiversity of our restoration efforts and many more exciting plans.
