This one’s for early risers and big dreamers, those of you into kelp restoration fans, clothes made of seaweed, imagination, snorkelling and a fire by the beach, if you’re interested in how Indigenous Knowledges and ceremony can connect coastal communities, or how corporates can invest in the ocean 🌅🧶
Sea the Weed is a collaboration of organisations reforesting 70 hectares of once destroyed Phyllospora Comosa ('Crayweed') along Sydney’s coastline. Throughout 2025, friends Arthur Little and Brenden Newton from AIME have been running a monthly program of sunrise, ceremony and seaweed, drawing human attention back to nature and ‘looking sideways’. We recorded this one at Malabar beach, after a beautiful swim with the reforested crayweed.
