OneFishTwoFish is supporting Central Queensland University to recover seagrass meadows on the Great Barrier Reef
FISH SPECIES
Yellowfin Bream
Dusky Flathead
Brown Tiger Prawn
Seagrass meadows in the Great Barrier Reef are valuable foraging, nursery and spawning habitat for a range of commercial and recreationally fished species. This project utilises community flower collections, a purpose-built seagrass nursery and partnerships between First Nations people and seagrass researchers to produce seeds for enhancing the persistence and resilience of seagrass meadows. Operating out of Gladstone, Queensland, Seagrow is on the frontline of ocean sustainability.

The Great Barrier Reef is a hive of marine activity, and many species of fish benefit from the protection and structure of seagrass meadows. Seagrow is focused specifically on five significant fish for the ecosystem: yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, whiting, brown tiger prawn, and the snub nosed garfish.
Seagrow is supported by CQUniversity Coastal Marine Ecosystems Research Centre, Gidarjil Development Corporation, Fitzroy Basin Association and Burnett Mary Regional Group.
