The front page of the March 2025 issue features the Wagonga Inlet Living Shoreline (WILS) project.

WILS combined Sydney Rock and Native Flat Oyster reef restoration at a single location and has enriched the foreshore with oyster reefs and planted the foreshores with saltmarsh and riparian vegetation. The oyster reefs are already thriving, supporting fish species like luderick and bream, improving the water quality and developing into a vibrant marine ecosystem.

Some 17,500 new native saltmarsh and riparian plants are growing into a lush foreshore planting to buffer wave energy and improve the shoreline climate change resilience.

WILS also features stunning cultural elements woven throughout the foreshore with interpretative signage incorporating artwork, language and stories generously shared by the local Aboriginal community.

We couldn’t include all of the photos sent to The Triangle, but you can enjoy them here. Clearly a good time was had by all.
