The next big step in our sponge garden restoration project is happening this week! Right now, the barge is leaving Port Phillip, carrying the crucial rocky substrate that will soon form the foundation for new marine life in Apollo Marine Park.

Did you know sponges are some of the ocean’s hardest workers? These unassuming creatures filter hundreds of gallons of water every day, trapping bacteria and waste while releasing crystal-clear water #OceanHeroes #MarineEcosystem #NatureIsAmazing #UnderwaterLife #SustainTheSea #OceanFilters

Check out this huge Dusky Morwong living in this sponge garden. A great example of a larger species that makes its home in our stunning sponge gardens in Southern Australia, which we are helping to restore and enhance. #marinescience #biotechnology

Check out this incredible sponge garden in Port Phillip Heads Marine Park we filmed last week. We are constantly expanding our knowledge of sponge gardens in the southern ocean so we can restore and enhance areas that require these important animals. #marinelife #biotechnology #sciencefacts

Ever heard of a weedy seadragon? These funky little guys look like floating bits of seaweed, but they’re actually relatives of seahorses! They’re pros at blending into kelp forests down in southern Australia. 🦑 #WeedySeadragon #OceanVibes #MarineLife #weedyseadragon #Conservation #followme
