In 2024 we embarked on an exciting new part of the Project in collaboration with @Sydney_Uni, @UNSW and @Flinders University.

The aim is to quantify the environmental changes from the restoration works by comparing pre and post-restoration conditions.

Sharks & Rays of Sydney Harbour, some of Sydney's most iconic marine residents. Here's a few we see in our 'office'.

Who's clinging onto the summer break like the Eastern Clingfish?

Found in the tide pools, sponges and seagrass meadows of Sydney Harbour, they’re masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with their surroundings.

Life in the Kelp!

We spend alot of time in kelp and if you blink you can miss the incredible marine life living within it. Kelp forests in Sydney Harbour provide significant habitat, refuge and food source for many species.

The Nudibranch, another crowd pleaser!

Here's some of the nudi's we have seen in Sydney Harbour!

Tis' the season to be a gobbleguts.

So, introducing another resident in our waters, the Eastern Gobble Guts aka Vincentia novaehollandiae.

Here we see the male carrying the eggs in its mouth until they are ready to be released.

Over the next few months we will be highlighting the many marine species that live within the habitats we are restoring. Kicking off with a crowd favourite, the Octopus!

The Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Inc. recently stayed at Land's Edge, just across the road, for a three-day STEM focussed retreat. SIMS had the privilege of hosting a day focused on marine science for Aboriginal youth.
