Reef Ecologic, Australia

Location - Whitsundays, Australia

Reef Ecologic is a reef restoration programme in the Whitsundays which works to integrate reef restoration programmes into tourism experience in the Whitsundays. After a tropical cyclone in 2017 cause severe damange and devasting effects on marine ecosystems in the Whitsundays, the tourism industry suffered greatly as some of the most popular snorkelling and dive sites were hit directly by the cyclone. Our local team helped sponsor the development of a new coral garden as well as creating learning materials for travellers to educate them about the importance of coral reefs in our oceans.
