About

Eye on the Reef

Features
Read full description

Eye on the Reef allows you to submit reef health data, animal sightings, or incidents on the Great Barrier Reef. The app also gives fishers and other Reef users access to zoning rules in the Marine Park with interactive maps which work outside of mobile range. The app empowers anyone with a mobile phone to join our network of citizen scientists and contribute GPS-tagged observations. You can submit photos of what you have seen out on the Reef โ€” this can include wildlife (including protected species), pests like crown-of-thorns starfish, marine pollution, coral bleaching, or special events like coral spawning. Whether you're a fisher, tourist, or scientist, let's work together to protect one of the world's most iconic natural wonders for generations to come.
