It involved the Australian Navy in 2013.[4][5] It also involved the Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation.[6]

Other institutions involved have been the Western Australian Museum in 2011[7] and in 2016.[8] The City of Fremantle is also involved.[9]

As was the case with many events across the country, it was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[10][11][better source needed]
