Local marine operators have been working alongside Traditional Owners on the latest Tourism Reef Protection Initiative funded by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA).
The Reefsearch Team at Red Cat have been surveying 12 sites around the Whitsundays in collaboration with Traditional Owners and Descendants of the Ngaro, Gia, and Juru people of the Whitsundays Region.
“Being able to bring them to the sites and reconnect with their land has been nothing but incredible,” said a Red Cat team member.
