Coral Reef Conservation with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation
The Great Barrier Reef has suffered the worst summer on record, enduring cyclones, severe flooding, crowns-of-thorns starfish outbreaks and a mass coral bleaching event.
The Great Barrier Reef is a unique ecosystem; home to thousands of species of marine life, including fish, whales, dolphins, and six of the world’s seven species of marine turtle. But she is fighting for her life - and needs our help.

How GBRF helps
-
Coral reefs are the beating heart of our oceans. They provide nurseries and food for a quarter of all marine life and sustain a billion people worldwide.
Warmer temperatures are triggering mass coral bleaching events, disrupting food supplies and threatening entire ecosystems. This doesn't need to be our future.

The 1,050 islands and 2,300km of coastal wetland ecosystems along the Great Barrier Reef support some of the highest biodiversity on the planet and store carbon up to 50 times more efficiently than tropical rainforests.
Climate change and biodiversity loss are having a devastating impact on the health of coral reefs. Together we can restore these habitats to ensure our Reef's future is vibrant and full of life.
