Ambitious reef-wide health check could provide valuable information to save the largest barrier reef.
A remote site of healthy coral discovered by Daydream Island Resort will be surveyed as part of a major pilot project to help conserve and protect Great Barrier Reef.
"To realize a project as challenging as the Great Reef Census, we are going to need the help of people, not just from one end of the Reef to the other, but from all over the world," Ridley said. The team documented their experience surveying the Reef in some of the most pristine, uncharted coral stretches. It was the first full in-water test of the methodology, which successfully delivered clear and crucial outcomes significant to the overall Great Reef Census project.
Scott said the group had to battle through intense weather during the 14-hour overnight steam out to the Blue Hole, arriving exhausted just before dawn.
