This project is supported by the Townsville City Council. It represents important collaboration between industry partners and citizen science groups like Reef Check Australia, a key outcome of Reef Ecologic’s Integrated Coral Reef Citizen Science Program, funded by the partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.
