Supporting Indigenous-led seagrass conservation in Shark Bay

BIOSFERA Research & Conservation is proud to be part of the collaborative effort supporting Tidal Moon’s Seagrass Project in Shark Bay, Western Australia.
Led by Tidal Moon’s Indigenous team, the project brings together Indigenous knowledge, cultural leadership and modern science to restore and protect Shark Bay’s extensive seagrass meadows—one of the world’s most important marine ecosystems.
Following years of mapping, research and collaboration, the project is now entering an exciting new phase, working towards a model of culturally directed, Indigenous-led conservation. BIOSFERA is contributing alongside partners including Conservation International, Murdoch University, Edith Cowan University, the Jock Clough Foundation, ANZ, The University of Western Australia, Clayton Utz and MinterEllison.
Our involvement reflects BIOSFERA’s commitment to supporting conservation approaches that connect scientific knowledge with local and Indigenous expertise, while contributing to the long-term protection and restoration of marine ecosystems.
As Tidal Moon prepares to share the story of this work with an international audience in collaboration with award-winning Indigenous producer Jack Steele, we are delighted to be part of the journey and to help amplify the importance of Indigenous-led conservation in Shark Bay and beyond: https://www.conservation.org/news/how-indigenous-australians-are-restoring-earths-largest-organism
