Operation Crayweed with Balgowlah North Public School

Artists Jennifer Turpin and Michaelie Crawford and Curator Christiane Statham from Turpin + Crawford Studio, film-makers from Lightwell Studio, and musician Ben Fink have worked with Year 4 students from Balgowlah North Public School to make this animated film about ‘Operation Crayweed’. ‘Operation Crayweed’ is an environmental rehabilitation project that is restoring crayweed, an important species of seaweed, along Sydney’s coastline from Cronulla to Palm Beach and is led by marine scientists from the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS), The University of NSW, Sydney, and The University of Sydney. The latest planting site is in Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve in Manly. The Balgowlah North students first learnt about Operation Crayweed on excursions to the Long Reef rock platform and the SIMS Marine Lab in Chowder Bay. The students then explored that scientific knowledge through the creative process of drawing, song-writing, singing, and dancing in the making of the animated film. This short film is the latest in a series of art/science collaborations between Turpin + Crawford Studio and SIMS/UNSW/USyd. The film engages young people to become ambassadors for marine health in general, and the importance of crayweed restoration for Sydney. This project was supported by the John T Reid Foundation.
