Operation Crayweed reposted this
There’s something truly magical about watching nature reclaim its strength. The Climate Friendly team all came together on Guringai Country at the end of 2024 to celebrate our shared achievements, connect with each other and continue our cultural learning journey. We had the pleasure of a special experience with Operation Crayweed, in combination with the See The Weed program. This started with a grounding Aboriginal ceremony, followed by an opportunity to connect with nature and snorkel in the restored crayweed forests of Sydney’s coast. Crayweed (Phyllospora comosa) once thrived on Sydney’s reefs, creating lush underwater forests. But when it disappeared in the 1980s, so did much of the delicate ecosystem that depended on it. Now, vital work is being undertaken, drawing on important Indigenous knowledge, to restore these important habitats which support over 250 epifauna and breathe life back into our oceans. Thanks to Brenden Newton and Arthur Little for sharing this cultural and nature learning journey with the Climate Friendly team. Such a wonderful way to close out 2024, and we look forward to walking together to expand our impact! #NatureRepair #ClimateAction #Reconciliation
