Reef Keeper Program
Reef Keeper Great Barrier Reef
Do you love the reef and want to make a difference? Maybe you’re studying in the environmental field and would like to gain some field data collection and monitoring experience? Keen to make some new friends and WOW your existing ones with all the reef facts and knowledge you’ll learn through this educational and inspiring program? Come join us as a Reef Keeper!
Operating in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and UNESCO World Heritage area on the southern Great Barrier Reef, we are a high standard tourism operator with a strong commitment to the conservation and sustainability of the reef that we visit and enjoy each day.
You can become a part of this commitment and not only learn how to monitor the reef ecosystem, but also how to explain to your friends, family and community what it means for a coral reef to be healthy, and simple actions we can take in our everyday lives to keep it that way.
Reef Keepers participate in on land training and information sessions and 3 reef day trips for in water training conducted as a group of like-minded citizen scientists.
Learn to better understand food webs and connectivity, how to tell the difference between a dead reef and healthy reef (like ours!), as well as the impacts of climate change and other threats to this incredible ecosystem. As a Reef Keeper, you will receive training in both theoretical and practical reef citizen science monitoring methods, as well as how to communicate reef health messages with the community.
