Thanks to funding and support from Hunters Hill Council we are growing our Mangrove Tidal Nursery at Woolwich. We are growing 5000 grey mangroves every year to replant back into Sydney Harbour where the existing oceanforests are getting lost to over development and ferry wash.

Cool Facts about mangroves
3 times more carbon sequestering than trees
80 % habitats for costal fish stocks
Natural filters of heavy metals.

A fantastic result was achieved at Woolwich baths when the lantana overgrown riverbank collapsed.

Work started with clearing the embankment and laying the geomembrane. Levis where then built and back filled. Finally the embankment was planted out with native grasses.

• Establish and manage a tidal mangrove nursery (500 plants every year)

• Work with local council on a mangrove seed bank for endangered river mangroves

• Plant out and green the concrete stonewall

• Return the biodiversity back to the bay both in, on and above the water

• Engage and educate local community

Working with Seabin, ZeroCo and local harbour communities we are busy collecting harbour plastic waste and exploring ways to upcycle and scale products of use from this discarded waste

The Sydney Harbour Turtle Restoration & Monitoring Initiative aims to restore habitats and monitor endangered turtle species. It focuses on habitat rehabilitation, scientific monitoring through tagging and data analysis, and community engagement through education and volunteer activities. The project seeks to boost turtle populations and promote biodiversity in the harbour ecosystem

Riverbank defense using mangroves is a natural and sustainable approach to protecting riverbanks from erosion , ferry wash and other environmental damages
