Dive into World Oceans Day. 🌊
Today is a reminder of the shared responsibility we have to protect our oceans.
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest, richest and most diverse coral reef located here in Queensland. 🐠
🤔 Did you know that ports have successfully operated in the Great Barrier Reef region for more 150 years?
North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation operates three ports within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
To protect the surrounding reef, they work closely with JCU: James Cook University, Australia on research and sustainability projects, including seagrass monitoring, water quality data collection and reef condition surveys.
Every year, they survey 30,000 hectares of seagrass and collect 4.2 million water quality records to monitor conditions at five locations in the Great Barrier Reef. 🤯
Together, this work is helping protect the Great Barrier Reef for future generations.
