Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef Ecology Study  took place from Friday 23 April to Tuesday 27 April 2021. HSC Geography students together with 4 Duke of Edinburgh candidates conducted ecological studies and snorkelled on both Fitzroy Island and Hastings Reef. Data from the expeditions was collected and sent to Coral Watch and Eye on the Reef citizen Science studies. Students also visited James Cook University where they heard lectures from marine ecologists and Turtle Rehabilitation Centre on Fitzroy Island.
