Coral Sea Foundation

Their Mission is to raise awareness of the ecological and social value of the reefs of the Coral Sea, Melanesia and the Great Barrier Reef, and to be proactive in their sustainable management. They are not just about reef conservation – we are helping communities and creating leaders.

The Coral Sea Foundation develops pragmatic reef monitoring solutions and works to empower First Nations custodians with the skills and knowledge they need to sustainably manage their own Sea Country. Their award-winning marine conservation training programs empower Indigenous women in Australia and Melanesia.
