Crayweed Restoration
Crayweed is a particular type of seaweed present from Port Macquarie, NSW to Tasmania. Due to the dumping of sewage on Sydney beaches during the 1970s and 1980s, this seaweed has died out leaving barren rocks. Operation Crayweed is an organisation born from an experiment which involved transplanting crayweed from Palm Beach and Cronulla. This experiment proved to be very successful at regenerating the seaweed in Long Bay, Malabar. James Beardsley's design takes this experiment's success and develops a sustainable and cost effective solution that can be implemented with the help of the local community.
