In 2021, following the 2019-2020 bushfires that affected mangroves across much of coastal NSW, a collaboration between OceanWatch (NRM), MangroveWatch, local Landcare groups and oyster farmers began.
Aiming to assist the recovery of mangrove areas, the partnership has seen the collection of mangrove seedlings, establishment of a small nursery, and replanting of burned mangrove areas. A great network of scientists, communities and oyster farmers has been formed through the project. It is hoped that this network will form a baseline for continued efforts to help mangroves and their associated wildlife recover from extreme natural events now and into the future.
