Citizen science offers ways for communities to complement science and management efforts by actively engaging in activities to help monitor, understand, and protect the Reef. Projects are bringing local communities together with a range of partners to understand Reef health and catalyse local Reef protection actions.
Why citizen science?
The Great Barrier Reef is enormous. A complex and highly diverse ecosystem made up of coral, mangroves, seagrass and more. To care for a place of this scale and complexity requires bringing together a range of data to help inform actions.
Citizen science is a connector – bringing together diverse partners in new ways to identify what information is needed, how community can collect and help share that information, and how to use information to inform our collective actions.
Connecting community data with channels to inform, educate and drive action to protect the Reef is key focus of the program.

Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
