Did you know? There are flowers under the sea! 🌊🌷

They come from seagrasses, the ocean's only true flowering plant. Just like land plants, seagrasses have roots, seeds and flowers.

In Western Australia, we boast the highest diversity of seagrasses globally, with 26 species blooming in our waters!

2025 Recycling Update ♻️
Big thanks to all of our visitors and members of the community for being such great 'sorts', helping us to recycle and support the work of the AQWA Foundation.

This year alone we have:
♻️ recycled over 7800 containers,
🚮 including more than 1600 donated by members of the community,
🌱 and diverted over 1.7 tonnes of organic waste from landfill, instead turning it into soil and compost!

Let’s keep up the great work to reduce, reuse and recycle.💙
