🚤 Great Reef Census Expedition
Our team spent a week surveying 80 sites across 25 reefs for GRC7, from Ribbon Reef 10 to Port Douglas 📸 We also carried out rubble site assessments with Mars Sustainable Solutions, using Census data to identify potential Reef Star sites ⭐, and collected fish aggregation data with GBR Biology 🐠
🪸 Reef Recovery Days
Across three Reef Recovery Days we installed 98 Reef Stars ⭐ and attached 1,470 coral fragments.
Don’t miss our next Reef Recovery Day next Wednesday 14th October onboard the Reef Magic - Cairns ☀️ Pontoon and get hands on in active conservation!
