New seagrass restoration project underway in Western Australia

Working in collaboration with DWER and UWA, OzFish are starting a new Halophila ovalis seagrass restoration trial in Leschenault Estuary. This project will form part of Leschenault Catchment Council’s Leschenault Estuary Connect program, an innovative program aimed at connecting and engaging the local community to protect and enhance the Leschenault Estuary for future generations.

Seeds for Snapper hits the million milestone in WA 

Seeds for Snapper hits the million milestone in WA 

We did it – one million seagrass seeds deployed in Cockburn Sound this seagrass season! 

Thank you to all of the recreational fishers, volunteer divers and boaters, school students, and local businesses who came together to make this year our biggest Seeds for Snapper yet.  

More than 400 volunteers played a part in helping achieve the lofty goal of dispersing one million seeds in a single season. Their efforts are helping to return this lost habitat to the WA coastline.
