Together with Operation Crayweed, Sea The Weed aims to deepen the relationship between people, organisations and the ocean through Indigenous Knowledge thinking, systems design and sustainability. Sea the Weed's "Shareholders of The Ocean" program exists to help organisations connect and strengthen their custodial relations with nature and improve ways of working and collaboration within their teams. By committing $10,000 a year over three years organisations can help reforest the iconic Sydney coastline and strengthen relational bonds.
