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.

We have created an innovation centre that has an ocean plastic shredder, working alongside our material testing experiments.

Follow us on www.hungryturtleproject.org for more on our progress.

We have built and launched an autonomous ocean plastic collector that operates in the bays of North Sydney. Weekly collections in the current of Sydney Harbour collect over 10 kg of ocean plastic

• 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

We completed a successful trial of marine battery recycling for the period from  July 2020 to July 2021 at the Marine Area Command at Balmain Sydney NSW. The program carries on to date.
