23.01.2022 I’d like to congratulate Andy Ridley and his team at Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef for this world first initiative. Given the size of the Reef and the fact that over 40 per cent has not yet been surveyed, this is an incredible opportunity to gain better insight into the current state of the Reef. The Great Reef Census will assist us in making better informed management decisions, based on absolute facts. It will give us a much more comprehensive understanding of the Reef and that will of course lead to better solutions and outcomes for the future of the Great Barrier Reef. #greatreefcensus

14.01.2022 National Recycling Week is an important reminder to all residents across Cairns and Far North Queensland to play their part in reducing waste to landfill and keeping it out of our unique environment The benefits to our environment will be significant as we reduce litter, especially plastics, that pollute our oceans and parks, so we protect our precious wildlife and marine life An important thing that every member of our community can easily do this week is to check their local council website to make sure that they are up to date on the latest recycling information and tips and tricks.
