If you’re lucky, a green sea turtle or two might join in the fun! In 2020, pre-registration an...d pre-payment are essential as swim numbers are limited in keeping with COVID-19 regulations. Registrations close 5pm October 16 unless sold out prior. The Great Adventures Green Island Swim is a community event and is supported by both Surf Lifesaving Queensland and Cairns Crocs.

24.01.2022 When you live and work in one of the most remarkable natural environments on the planet, it’s only natural (see what we did there?) to protect it! Our conservation and stewardship activities are on steroids over the next few months as we engage in a very significant initiative made possible by funding through the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority as part of the Australian Government’s COVID Recovery and Relief Fund. Our expert teams of marine biologists and divers wil...l be visiting up to 78 of the Quicksilver Group’s major tourism and remote reef sites. In addition to Reef Health Impact and Eye on the Reef monitoring surveys, we’re also ‘hunting’ for any coral predators such as the Crown of Thorns Starfish and Drupella snails, and removing them from the reef where we find any. This important work will support and help improve reef resilience and data collected will in turn help make important management decisions within the marine park. This week the monitoring team visited Green Island Check out more info here https://www.quicksilvergroup.com.au/news.html?id=88 or have a chat to the crew onboard! #tourismactivation #gbrmarinepark #lovethereef #greatbarrierreef

15.01.2022 New York! New York! It’s a helluva reef! Our ‘New York’ dive and snorkel site offshore from Green Island is a great reef, and it’s now a vital part of a leading edge, multi-stakeholder scientific research project. Thousands of coral fragments attached to a web of hexagonal frame stars has been installed around New York to form a new underwater structure on the seafloor. The observation of how the coral grows over the next several years will help inform scientific under...standing and help improve reef restoration resilience tools and techniques. Over the next three years, the live coral fragments will continue to grow and form a diverse and healthy live reef in an area previously covered with coral rubble and bare limestone rock.
