Our partnerships

Our partnerships focus on connecting with the WA community to build a sustainable water future. We proudly support initiatives with a connection to water that enrich and support our communities to thrive across WA, increase awareness of our environment and water sustainability, support resilience and enable greater community involvement in making WA a great place to live and invest. 

We’re proud to contribute to the community, to build trust and connection to influence positive impacts for social and environmental change.

 

Programs and projects that we support include:

WA Museum Boola Bardip

We have partnered with the Foundation for the WA Museum and the WA Museum to enhance the community’s appreciation of our natural environment, build understanding of sustainability as climate changes and raise awareness about the importance of being waterwise.

This is through a thought-provoking and moving displays which engage and educate people of all ages on current environmental issues, climate and the preciousness of water in WA.

Our partnership supports the following initiatives:

• enrich people’s lives across WA by connecting them with water through creativity, culture and the community spirit
• enhance the cultural, scientific and education of the WA Museum
• expand the knowledge of our school aged children.

OzFish Unlimited Seeds for Snapper

More than 85% of Australia’s seagrass meadows have disappeared in recent decades. Through our partnership with OzFish Unlimited, we support their mission to restore the vibrant underwater world of Cockburn Sound by cultivating seagrass meadows, a vital habitat for marine life.

Cockburn Sound’s seagrass meadows are the lifeline of its marine inhabitants. They provide food, shelter, and breeding grounds for a diverse range of species, including the iconic Western Australian snapper.

The Ozfish Seeds for Snapper program is one of Australia’s largest seagrass restoration projects. Every summer, volunteers have a limited time to collect and disperse more than one million seagrass seeds in Cockburn Sound. 
 
Seagrass (Posidonia australis) fruit once a year. During this time, the fruit floats to the ocean’s surface. They get washed ashore or out to sea, where they can't germinate. In early summer, OzFish volunteers get out on the water to collect seagrass fruit. Divers and boaters harvest the fruit by collecting it in nets. Once the fruit matures, it's processed in large onshore tanks. The seeds are then dispersed in areas ideal for seagrass meadow restoration. OzFish volunteer scientists and University of Western Australia (UWA) researchers monitor and maintain the area and gain valuable scientific insights.

Developed in collaboration with UWA, this innovative approach has increased seedling density by up to 2,000%. More than natural regrowth!
