PROJECT
Combining research, outreach, film and art interactions, SEADRAGON CONSERVATION is an inter-disciplinary project between the University of Technology Sydney and Jordan Askill.
WEEDY SEADRAGONS
Weedy or common seadragons are found only in Australia and are iconic to the country's Great Southern Reef. They face many threats, including habitat and ecosystem loss due to human impact and climate change. Classified as 'Vulnerable' on the IUCN Redlist, little is known about the Weedy.
AIMS
SEADRAGON CONSERVATION aims to prevent Weedy's from becoming endangered by establishing comprehensive demographic research datasets, breeding an insurance population, and incorporating field observations into public art and engagement.
