Thanks to the partnership with Investa, Operation Crayweed has recently expanded restoration efforts to three new sites along the Sydney coastline, with inspiring results. Lurline Bay, Dee Why and South Maroubra were planted during the winter of 2024, by the Operation Crayweed team with the help of Investa volunteers.
In December 2024, surveys at the new restoration site in Dee Why revealed 466 crayweed recruits (‘craybies’). At Lurline Bay, first planted in late 2023 and ‘topped up’ in winter 2024, 416 recruits were recorded, up from just 10 last year. The tallest recruit there has already grown to 47 cm! The third site, South Maroubra, will be monitored in January 2025 – so stay tuned on our Instagram @thetrueoperationcrayweed for more news.
