About us
Driving real solutions to the threats facing Australia’s greatest natural wonder.
#Great Barrier Reef Foundation
We’re solving the most complex and challenging problems facing the survival of the Great Barrier Reef.
The funds we raise are directed at projects with large-scale impact – going to the coral reefs and the animals that depend on them. Working closely with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, we help protect and restore the Great Barrier Reef, building its resilience in the face of major threats. With the landmark review and implementation of the Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan, we’re helping to deliver practical solutions and actions for the Reef more quickly, more efficiently and more effectively.
