It supports thousands of jobs, as well as tourism, fisheries, and cultural heritage.

The Great Barrier Reef is vital to the economy and way of life of Far North Queensland.

It’s not too late to make a difference, but the urgency to act has never been greater. The decisions made over the next few years will shape the Reef’s future.

That's why we need you to send a clear message to your local representative: protecting the Reef must be a top priority.

The Australian Government must take bold action—tackling climate change, stopping coral harvesting, reducing water pollution, protecting our coastal vegetation, and creating an emergency plan to help the Reef recover.

Take action today: Email your local representative and demand strong commitments for the Reef.

Together, we can ensure this irreplaceable natural wonder thrives for generations to come.
