Coral Sea Marina has partnered with international not-for-profit The International SeaKeepers Society for marine conservation, promoting education, citizen science, conservation efforts, and research opportunities.
Coral Sea Marina has joined the effort, as a dedicated Marina Partner, the first in the South Pacific.
“We are incredibly excited to join the SeaKeepers’ Marina Partner Program, with a view to raise awareness and promote ocean conservation to our marina guests, visiting Superyachts and the wider boating community,” explained Joscelyn O’Keefe, Head of Marketing and Business Development at Coral Sea Marina.
“We are uniquely positioned on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef to facilitate participation in ocean conservation programs and the citizen science movement to both privately owned vessels and our commercial tourism operators.”
International SeaKeepers Society was founded in 1998 by a small group of yacht owners who were concerned by the deterioration of the natural landscape and has since evolved into a community facilitating scientific discovery, marine sciences, and raising awareness about global ocean issues.
“SeaKeepers is thrilled to have Coral Sea Marina as our first South Pacific Marina Partner,” explained Melissa White, Program Development Manager, South Pacific, SeaKeepers.
“Their efforts in being a Clean Marina and creating Coral Sea Academy as their commitment to educating people on protecting our marine environment, aligns with SeaKeepers’ mission.”
Ms O’Keefe says that by joining the DISCOVERY Yacht Fleet, the boating community can use their vessels and their time to make a real difference on the water.
“Whether by documenting encounters with marine life or capturing important scientific data whilst cruising the waters, partnering with The International SeaKeepers Society provides a way for everyday people to actively contribute to the crucial work of ocean conservation.”
