We are thrilled to announce that our initiative, Local to Global Strategies for Accelerating Kelp Restoration, has received funding from The Ian Potter Foundation, an Australian philanthropic organisation that provides grants to support initiatives in the arts, environment, education, health, and community wellbeing. This generous support will enable us to implement our plans over the next four years, with a focus on restoring crayweed forests at more critical sites along the Sydney coastline.
In collaboration with the Kelp Forest Alliance, this initiative aims to reconnect crayweed habitats, enhance the rich biodiversity they sustain, and contribute to the global mission of protecting and restoring 4 million hectares of kelp forests by 2040. These efforts will not only help safeguard marine ecosystems but also highlight Australia's role as a leader in marine restoration.
We are also proud to partner with AIME to share our collective story with the broader community. Through this partnership, we aim to foster a deeper connection to our underwater world, inspiring people to value and protect these vital ecosystems.
We are eager to embark on this important work and look forward to sharing our progress with you in the months and years ahead. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us make a difference for our oceans!
