Our Reef is in distress

The Great Barrier Reef is experiencing mass coral bleaching – the fifth in eight years. 75% of the Great Barrier Reef has bleached, with the majority of reefs surveyed showing high to extreme levels of bleaching.

We need your urgent help to raise $25,000 for our Reef World Heritage Mission.

Your donation today will help send an expert team of Reef scientists to the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. The people with global oversight need to hear from the independent experts out on the Reef.

Mass bleaching “worst ever seen” by coral biologist, Dr Selina Ward

New video footage released shows that bleached corals on the southern part of the Great Barrier Reef extend to greater depths than has been reported during the current mass bleaching event.

The Great Barrier Reef is experiencing an unprecedented fifth mass coral bleaching in eight years.

This is worse than the past two mass bleaching events – in 2020 and 2022 – and we may discover as bad as the worst bleaching on record in 2016.

“We’ve been assessing the current coral bleaching event here at One Tree Island and at Sykes Reef. Well, I feel a bit devastated to be honest – this bleaching event is the worst I’ve ever seen…

I’ve been working on the Great Barrier Reef since 1992 so it’s absolutely heartbreaking every time there’s a bleaching event, but this one I’m really struggling with…  there are so many different species that are bleached – many of which are usually fairly resistant to bleaching. We’re bound to lose corals; we can see that some corals have begun to die…

It’s time to act and there are no more excuses.”

– Dr Selina Ward, Coral Biologist, University of Queensland.
