Seagrass Meadows

Seagrass restoration scales up in South Australia thanks to volunteers 

The restoration of South Australia’s vitally important seagrass meadows is a step closer after the incredible efforts of our recreational fishers and local communities. Across both of our ‘Seeds for Snapper’ projects in South Australia, along Adelaide’s metropolitan coastline and on the Fleurieu Peninsula, more than 700 local rec fishers and people got involved. Together, they dedicated more than 3,380 volunteer hours to harvest and deploy more than 18,700 seagrass seeds in over 630 biodegradable sandbags.

Seeds for Snapper makes strong start for 2022 in WA

Our ‘Seeds for Snapper’ initiative – the largest seagrass restoration initiative in Australia has got off to a strong start for its fifth year in Cockburn Sound, Western Australia.

It only got underway last week but an army of volunteers has already collected more than 400,000 seagrass fruits. Unlike other restoration approaches, Seeds for Snapper mobilises rec fishers and the wider community to help restore their own backyard.
