We are happy to support White Rock, a documentary showing the devastation caused by long-spined sea urchins devouring Australia’s southern kelp forests - leaving nothing but white rock in their wake.

The film follows fishers, Traditional Owners and scientists working together to help restore this ecosystem using in-water urchin control, First Nations management, habitat rehabilitation and emerging urchin industries.

Presented by the Great Southern Reef Foundation, White Rock premieres in New York at the UN General Assembly in September, followed by an Australian tour to raise awareness of our Great Southern Reef.
