It's hoped millions of dollars in funding will help restore the much-loved wildlife and marine habitats making their home in Sydney's iconic Harbour, damaged by two centuries of urban development and industrial activity.

The project, called Seabirds to Seascapes, brings together three elements to restore marine ecosystems, support the future of little penguins, and help fur seals thrive.

In addition, a census of little penguin numbers will help conserve the species in the face of climate change, along with the restoration of seagrass meadows and kelp where they thrive. Pollution during the 1980s destroyed the seaweed known as crayweed all the way from Palm Beach to Cronulla, and it has not returned.

Coal, oil and gas ads could soon be banned from hundreds of Sydney buildingsThe City of Sydney will consider becoming the first Australian jurisdiction to ban fossil fuel advertising on council-run properties and infrastructure, citing health and environmental reasons.
