#Volunteer

Citizen-science projects are happening right across the Great Barrier Reef, helping collect important information on everything from mangroves to manta rays, coral to coastal habitats.

Join volunteer groups in and out of the water to help to collect the vital data used by scientists, reef managers, local communities and conservation groups for ongoing Reef management and protection. Get involved in group activities, local community events—even collect data in your own time, it’s that easy. Here’s how to get Involved:
