March Monitoring events for ReefClean

This March the ReefClean project has Monitoring Clean-up events happening all across the Great Barrier Reef Region. These Monitoring events are delivered quarterly and include both coastal and estuary sites.

Monitoring Clean-ups are very different from normal community clean-ups in that it is a much more structured process, and site locations must meet more stringent requirements.  These events would appeal to those citizen scientist volunteers who appreciate a scientifically rigorous process.

Harnessing the Power of the People for the Great Barrier Reef

One of the largest ever people‐powered clean‐ups of the Great Barrier Reef began last week, with young and old uniting to make a difference.

The Great Barrier Reef Clean‐up is part of the 5‐year ReefClean project, which focuses on both the removal and prevention of marine debris impacting our iconic reef. Over the weekend of October 5th & 6th, volunteers joined one of the five Great Barrier Reef Clean‐up launch events that took place across the Wet Tropics, Burdekin, Mackay Whitsundays, Fitzroy and Burnett Mary NRM Regions, with an additional event happening later in October on Badu Island in the Torres Strait.
