SEAGRASS ANNOUNCEMENT: Westport is putting WA at the forefront of global seagrass restoration efforts by investing $730,000, and bringing together a successful community-driven restoration program with pioneering robotic technology, underpinned by the latest independent seagrass science.   Westport provided $130,000 to fund an Australian-first trial of a robotic seagrass planter, developed by Ulysses Ecosystem Engineering Inc. and managed by The University of Western Australia. The robot was used in this year’s seagrass planting season to inject the seeds directly into the sediment, improving the rate of planting, and likelihood of germination, as compared to manual dispersal. Westport has also invested $500,000 into the OzFish Unlimited Seeds for Snapper program, the largest #seagrass restoration program in Australia, to support its activities to restore Posidonia australis meadows in Cockburn Sound and Owen Anchorage. These activities are being informed by the latest in seagrass research from WAMSI Westport Marine Science Program, which includes seagrass mapping, light and sediment tolerance thresholds and best practice methods for scaling-up seagrass restoration.   The funding is part of Westport’s long-term commitment to significantly scale-up seagrass restoration in Cockburn Sound, before and after development of the new container port facilities in Kwinana. https://lnkd.in/gN5CccMc #seagrassrestoration #science #automation #marinescience

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: AUKUS Partners progress submarine build plan The Australian Submarine Agency, BAE Systems and ASC have signed a Tasking Statement, a contractual agreement that supports the joint development of a build strategy, supply chain management plans and a workforce development strategy. The tasking Statement is a significant milestone that will support the delivery of Australia’s conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines for the Royal Australian Navy. “SSN AUKUS is a multi-national, multi-generational program through which ASC will invest in developing the critical skills required to build a nuclear submarine fleet in Australia. It’s hard to imagine, but the children at school today will be the ones building our submarine fleet of tomorrow,” says Stuart Whiley, ASC CEO and Managing Director. “The program is anticipated to generate thousands of highly skilled jobs over its lifetime.” Find your deeper purpose at ASC 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUm98NkJ

Now this is something to crow about! Green steel, in Kwinana, ticking 2 boxes right there. If we can speed up time lines would be even better. #kwinanaindustry #greensteel

Our household electricity credits are delivering immediate relief to keep power bill down, and our responsible clean energy plan is locking in affordable and reliable energy for every Western Australian for decades to come. This morning we marked the completion of the second Kwinana big battery, which will play a vital role in keeping our energy system reliable and affordable - allowing us to bring on more rooftop solar and renewable energy as we sensibly phase out coal by 2030. Our two completed big batteries in Kwinana will be charged during the day by renewable energy, and power 450,000 households during peak periods in the evening. This is a game-changer. Our investments are already paying off - we’re smashing WA energy records, with renewables hitting 85 per cent of energy on the main electricity grid earlier this month. It's all part of our $5.4 billion investment in WA's energy transition, ensuring WA's energy future is clean, affordable and reliable.
