Turning the Tide Newsletter – Summer 2025
Reef Heroes
71 Reef heroes volunteered 554 hours of their time to run a powerful awareness campaign in Cairns, ensuring Reef protection remained a key issue in the Queensland election.
They hosted 18 market stalls, door-knocked 2,528 homes, collected over 1,000 petition signatures, handed out more than 4,000 flyers at election booths, distributed hundreds of campaign signs, and ran a successful
Candidates Forum engaging in hundreds of meaningful community conversations.
For many of our Cairns volunteers—divers and Reef tourism workers—this battle is deeply personal. They are witnessing the impacts firsthand.
In 2025, these efforts continue, as we fight to keep the Reef front and centre for decision-makers.
Fight For Reef
It’s not too late to save the Reef—but we must act now. Whether you volunteer on the ground or support from a distance by signing petitions, making donations, or spreading the word, your efforts matter.
Take action, donate, or volunteer. Together, we can ensure the Reef gets the protection it deserves.
Thank you for standing with us.
