Tidal Moon is leading one of the world's largest seagrass restoration projects. While scouring the seafloor for sea cucumbers, the divers also replant seagrass reserves. "One of the key things that we're trying to do is keep the carbon captured in the sea floor. So without seagrass restoration, you have these carbon bombs that go off and there's about 40 million tons of CO2 that are at risk in Shark Bay" Jennifer Verduin, a marine scientist at Perth's Murdoch University, agrees that the relationship might be 'mutually beneficial,' saying sea cucumbers are 'the worms of the ocean.'

Seagrass Festival: Tidal Moon hosts concert to raise funds and awareness for sensitive marine habitats
A First Nations business based in Denham will host a one-night only concert to raise critical funds and much-needed awareness for ecologically sensitive areas. Held at the Freo Social Club in Fremantle on Sunday, June 1, the Seagrass Festival 2025 will feature an impressive line-up of performers plus a dive into local culture. Hosted by South Australian comedian Kevin Kropinyeri, the evening will include performances by Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal artists including Stephen Pigram, Phil Walleystack, Prita Grealy, Morgan Joanel, Natasha Eldridge and Emma Sibosado. Tidal Moon is an Aboriginal business operating in the marine industry, with a goal to create sustainable jobs and opportunities for the Malgana people and the wider community while also focusing on saltwater country. Based in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Shark Bay — home to the world's largest seagrass meadows — Tidal Moon, with support from several WA universities and the Western Australian Marine Science Institution, aims to launch the world's largest seagrass restoration project. The 2011-12 heatwave devastated nearly 25 per cent of the region's seagrass beds. Tidal Moon managing director Michael Wear said he hoped the festival would unite the community to raise awareness and funds for vital restoration efforts in WA's iconic Shark Bay. 'The Tidal Moon Seagrass Festival and concert will bring our community together to celebrate and protect the seagrass ecosystems that support marine biodiversity, fish stocks and store carbon,' he said. 'In addition to a great line-up of artists, the concert will directly support critical seagrass restoration efforts in an iconic Western Australian World Heritage area. 'Attending the Seagrass Festival will be a great opportunity to hear some of WA's best local musicians and directly support the world's largest seagrass restoration effort which is happening right here in Western Australia.'
