We’re excited to announce a unique opportunity to make your next ride count for more than just your fitness goals. In partnership with Canopy Blue and Motivate Ultra, PocketSeed invites you to join Charity Spin, where every Kilometre cycled directly supports kelp restoration off the coast of Western Australia. This isn’t just a ride—it’s a movement for marine health and climate action. Each kelp credit funds a kelp plant, grown in the University of Western Australia lab, ready to be planted in areas that need it most.

Why Kelp Forests are Essential to Our Planet  

Kelp forests are nature’s powerful carbon absorbers, turning carbon dioxide into organic carbon that’s stored in ocean ecosystems. But that’s just the start: the Great Southern Reef, where much of this kelp grows, is home to diverse marine life—70% of which exists nowhere else. By restoring kelp forests, we’re preserving a world-class biodiversity hub and reinforcing the ocean’s ability to capture carbon, supporting both the planet and its unique ecosystems.

A Fast and Effective Climate Solution  

Kelp isn’t just efficient at capturing carbon; it’s also incredibly fast-growing, reaching its full size in just two years. This makes kelp forests one of the quickest ways to improve marine health and combat climate change. Beyond carbon storage, kelp offers potential for sustainable products like biofuels and even food, aligning with broader environmental goals for a low-carbon economy.

Cycle to Restore: Join the Charity Spin  

Motivate Ultra, known for raising over $200,000 in its annual Charity Spin Events, is expanding its mission this year with this environmental partnership. Join a 10-day event at nine locations across Perth CBD and cycle whenever you can. With each pedal, you’re not only getting active—you’re supporting essential marine restoration.

Track Your Impact: See Your Ride’s Real-Time Effect  

During the campaign, track your Kilometres live on PocketSeed to see how your ride directly contributes to kelp planting and marine restoration. Every pedal push is more than just a workout—it’s a step toward healthier oceans.
