2022 Badge

2022 Badge – Weedy Seadragon

2022 was gazetted by the UN as the year Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture. With this in mind, we chose a unique species – but one that is local and special not just to us, but all Australians. It’s the Weedy Seadragon. You may recall last year Sir David Attenborough lent his support to a Mornington Peninsula community’s battle to prevent the partial demolition of a wooden jetty, arguing it provides valuable habitat for the threatened Weedy Seadragon.
