Great Barrier Reef Foundation

The Capricorn Coast, at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, is celebrated for its beautiful beaches and the Keppel Islands, making it a hotspot for tourists and Reef enthusiasts. It is also home for locals who are deeply committed to conserving their environment and fostering skills that empower the next generation of environmental stewards. In our latest episode of the Front Line, discover two dynamic community projects in the Capricorn Coast region where young leaders are taking charge to shape a better future for the Great Barrier Reef:  https://lnkd.in/g9_6paht 🐢 Missed previous episodes of the Front Line? https://lnkd.in/gNCqbAGx 👀 FBA Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water #ReefTrust #Reef2050

The race to restore our coral reefs has never been more urgent. But if we are to succeed, we must massively scale restoration techniques to deploy more corals on more reefs than ever before. This week, as we celebrate McLaren’s win on the track, we also celebrate how this unique partnership is helping us accelerate coral restoration. By applying F1's speed and precision to environmental challenges, McLaren's Accelerator program aims to overcome scientific bottlenecks, scaling up deployment of heat-tolerant corals at unprecedented rates. Congratulations to Oscar Piastri on his win at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and to McLaren Racing who are now leading the Constructors' Championship. And thank you for partnering with us to apply elite engineering and technological skills beyond the podium as we work to protect and restore our beautiful Great Barrier Reef. Keen to understand more?

Scientists often talk about the impacts of #climatechange that are “locked into the system”, but what does that actually mean? Find out how today's #emissions will be felt in the future, and what's likely in store for coral reefs https://ow.ly/FFk450TirfW

Congratulations Tourism Tropical North Queensland on this exciting new initiative to boost eco-conscious travel to our incredible Great Barrier Reef. We all have an important role to play in protecting the Reef, and visiting it responsibly is one way we can all help protect its future.

It is that time of year again - it's biodiversity month 🗓. Each September, we celebrate the rich biodiversity on our blue planet and the intricate web that connects us all. Dubbed the rainforests of the sea, coral reefs are thriving communities made up of thousands of diverse species, each with an important role in maintaining ocean health. Globally, coral reefs are home to more than 25% of all marine life. In the face of climate change, we must measure and monitor the Reef biodiversity we have and stand to lose. That's why we've joined forces with L'Oréal Groupe Fund for Nature Regeneration and the Australian Institute of Marine Science to develop a #biodiversity accounting method to drive investment into targeted actions.

Thanks to the Coles Group team members who joined us to help restore seagrass meadows in Gladstone. This work is part of our 10-year, $10m partnership with Coles to strengthen the regeneration and resilience of the Great Barrier Reef and our coastal habitats. Coles have recently launched their FY24 report which highlights the positive outcomes we've accomplished together so far as well as their ongoing commitment to create lasting change.

We're proud to work alongside our neighbours in the Pacific at this critical time for coral reefs #ResilientReefs #ResilientPacific #PIFLM53

We were thrilled to launch phase 2 of our #ResilientReefs Initiative at the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting in #Tonga yesterday. #Pacific Island nations are on the frontline of climate change. They have called for help scaling and accelerating local programs to protect coral reefs, and the communities that depend on them. Resilient Reefs Initiative Phase 2 (RRI2) will take a coordinated approach, bringing together community project owners, traditional knowledge, global technical experts and funders from around the world to help maximise impact. Resilient Reefs is partnering with the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Pacific Coral Reef Action Plan. Resilient Reefs is also proud to be a partner initiative to the Unlocking Blue Pacific Prosperity (#UBPP) Initiative, which aims to support Pacific-led priorities and regional collective actions towards effective ocean management. The Resilient Reefs Initiative is funded by BHP Foundation. Find out more: https://ow.ly/b8GJ50T9lBp Pacific Community-SPC BHP Foundation Bezos Earth Fund #PIFLM53 #oneBluePacific #BluePacific
