Reef Guardians AU | Bring The Reef Back to Life

The Reef Is Dying — But Together, We Can Bring It Back to Life.

Science-led action for the Great Barrier Reef.

Every minute, coral ecosystems fade a little more. But there’s still time — and you can be part of the solution. Reef Guardians AU connects global citizens, scientists, and local communities to protect and restore the world’s largest reef system before it’s too late.

The Reef Can’t Wait Another Decade.

Rising temperatures and pollution are accelerating coral loss — faster than scientists predicted.

50% of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral cover has been lost in the past 30 years.

Marine species are declining as ocean temperatures rise.

Coastal pollution and overfishing threaten recovery efforts.

But the science is clear: coral ecosystems can recover if we act decisively — now.

Hope, Measured in Action.

Every number represents a step toward a living reef.

Reef Monitoring

Data that drives progress.

Our scientists collect live reef data to track bleaching, biodiversity, and ecosystem health — ensuring every dollar counts.

Community Education

Awareness that lasts generations.

We empower local schools and tourism operators to protect the reef through sustainability programs and training.

Every Dollar Drives Action.

When you donate to Reef Guardians AU, you’re not funding “awareness.” You’re fueling tangible, data-backed change beneath the surface.

Voices from Those

From scientists to divers — real people, real results.

“Each coral we plant gives us hope — and proof that restoration works.”
