Tourism Australia Sustainability Efforts

Eye on the Reef

Tourism Australia encourages visitors to the Great Barrier Reef to become citizen scientists through the Eye on the Reef programme. The free Eye on the Reef app can be downloaded by tourists to record reef health, animal sightings or incidents, and enables anyone who visits the Great Barrier Reef to contribute to its long-term protection by collecting valuable information about the reef’s health and marine animals. The data is collected and used to understand the bigger picture and inform how the GBR is managed sustainably.
