Sea Spurge Remote Area Teams (SPRATS) is an environment care group founded in 2007, using a volunteer adventure conservation model. The initial primary purpose of the group, made up of a number of teams, is to remove the invasive sea spurge flowering plant.[1]
The group was founded by Dr Jon Marsden-Smedley, a research fellow at the University of Tasmania's School of Geography and Environmental Studies.[1][2]
As of 2017, SPRATS have removed over 14 million plants.[2] It is regarded as the "way of the future for community conservation" by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service.[3]
