Projects
With more than 100 Reef-saving projects underway right now, we are the action station for the Reef, bringing together people and science to save our Reef and its marine life.
#Featured
Our Reef is an irreplaceable ecosystem facing a growing combination of threats, but there is hope and, together, we’re already making an impact.
Pioneering Reef forecasting
The world's largest forecasting program to track and predict the condition of Reef waters.
Saving endangered turtles
Restoring the world’s largest green turtle nesting area on Raine Island.
Saving reefs with Coral IVF

Resilient Reefs
Partnering with Reef communities to respond to climate change and local threats.
Cementing Coral Reefs
Stabilising Reef structures in a changing environment.
Coral Probiotics

Cryopreservation
Freezing the Reef for future generations.
Future Reef 2.0
The underwater lab monitoring ocean chemistry.
Live Habitat Mapping
Mapping the entire Great Barrier Reef.
RangerBot
The world's first autonomous underwater drone dedicated to Reef protection.
Reef in 3D
Ecology and robotics combine to map complex Reef systems.
Sea-Quence
Unlocking the genetic secrets of corals.
Stress test for corals

International Scientific Advisory Committee
The Foundation is directly advised by an International Scientific Advisory Committee (or ISAC).
ISAC is made up of the leaders of research and management on the Reef, including the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, University of Queensland, James Cook University, and CSIRO. This is an important component of our rigorous governance process for prioritising projects.
