Reef Restoration Foundation assist the recovery of the GBR by growing corals in our nurseries. We are enlisting an army of local volunteers to assist with the growing process of the corals and replanting them back to the reef!

•Cleaning the coral tree frames to remove the settlement of algae and encrusting organisms • Assisting with new installations and maintenance of coral nurseries • Propagating coral fragments and outplanting corals back into the reef • Potentially functioning as a leader in the field
Schedule
Our Volunteer Coordinator sets out a schedule a month in advance requesting availability on the days required. The days selected are chosen depending on the weather, number of volunteers, other events and availability of Dive Leaders. Typically, there will be six volunteers per outing, and we endeavor to rotate the volunteers to provide everyone with an opportunity to be involved.
Usually, it will be a full day activity and you will depart Cairns at 8am and return by 6pm.
