Through investing in, partnering with, and donating to the Foundation, here’s the science with impact for the Great Barrier Reef that we’re making possible together.
Our Projects science, technology, engineering and on-ground conservation action
Featured projects
Raine Island Recovery Project
Restoring the world's largest green turtle rookery
Sea-quence project: ReFuGe 2020 Consortium
Unlocking corals' genetic code: 9 coral genomes
Resilience hot spot mapping
Finding the Reef's 'hot spots' before it's too late
Completed projects
Biopolymer surface films
Sun shield for the Reef
What if there was a way to stop damaging levels of heat and light penetrating water and adversely affecting the Reef?
Carbon dioxide seeps
Window into the future
Bubbling volcanic carbon dioxide seeps created a unique undersea laboratory to investigate coral reefs under high CO2
Calcification rates of CCA
Cementing coral reefs
Calculating the calcification rates of crustose coralline algae, the 'glue' that binds coral reefs together
Coral reef habitat in 3D models
Reef in 3D
Using robots and stereo-imaging systems to map the seafloor and coral reefs in 3D
Resilient Reefs Successfully Adapting to Climate Change Program
An ambitious four-year program that delivered key knowledge and tools to help manage the Reef in the face of a changing and increasingly variable climate.
The program delivered more than 30 projects including four successful pilot projects and two new game-changing tools for reef management.
